I've met some Christians that think if they lift one finger to help someone they might be accused of acting out a "works" salvation. I've met some that think they don't have to do anything since they feel Jesus did it all on the Cross and that doing any good work is not required.

I haven't met any of these but if you say they're out there, I believe you...

As far as acting out a works-salvation, the non-Catholics that I run with don't have that problem because the salvation thing is a one time deal...When it done, it's done...And then there is no conflict with good works...

Thanks for that at least.

See.. I don't think we are really that far apart. I think it is more of a communication breakdown. Let me ask you this, do you accept what St. James says that faith without works is dead?
