I shouldn’t have said alone after faith, as that is the protestant mantra. We are saved by faith.

It all depends on how you define “faith,” of course. There is the danger that saying “faith alone” can lead people to believe it is only an intellectual assent to a set of ideas that is necessary.

Which is why we avoid it, usually. It all comes from grace. Grace transforms us. Grace animates our faith. Grace empowers our works.
