The desire to do works not for reward, but to serve our Savior well is a product of Sanctification.

That is true sanctity. That is true regardless of the Church, Catholic or otherwise. Anyone doing good things for the reward has an immature faith. A kind of Shamu view of faith.

Works for treats!

You agree that one denomination is not better than another on this point, right? People are just people and most do good things for reward rather than for true love of Jesus Christ Our Saviour.

We do things for reward in order that we may lay our reward at Jesus' feet.

I would phrase it differently. I think you can find saved Christians who have been born again in almost every sect of Christianity. However, any sect that believes you need to do works in order to be saved is wrong.
