So God's grace doesn't save?

Who knew? (((shrug)))

[Petronski]

So God's grace doesn't save?

I didn't say that.

I will, again, call your attention to the Gospel according to †John:

For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world: but that the world may be saved by him. John 3:16-17

The statement "grace saves; not faith" is necessarily defective, in that it suggests faith is somehow unnecessary

Protestants are fond of saying sola fide, yet "grace saves; not faith" stands that on its ear. Salvation requires God's grace, faith in Christ and works that bring that faith alive (in the fullest sense of "believing in Christ:" doing as He commands).
