This is correct but incomplete. Works of charity is what we are judged by, so we must do them or we won't be saved (Matthew 25, Apocalypse 22:12. Works are how we grow our faith (Luke 17:5-10).
God saves us by His gace ... through our faith ... so as to produce works pleasing to God.

Our salvation is based upon ... whether or not our names are in the Lamb's book of Life ...Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Those which have a true Christian fathers will produce corresponding works ...John 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Finally, ... Luke 7:5-10 says nothing about works growing one's faith ...Luke 17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.We grow our faith by the exercising of our faith ... as Jesus says in verse 6.
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
The remainder of the passage speaks to our positioning in the Kingdom of God. We are servants of the Most High God.
As His servants, it is our place to produce works according to His will.
