It might help if you listed the works the people in the sect need to do in order to be saved. I think there might be a misunderstanding that can be unraveled.

Not likely. :-0

Are you exclusively justified by Faith, or is there something else you need to do? If not what was the Reformation about?

Are you exclusively justified by Faith

I am not sola anything, except maybe Christ. :) Nor is any Catholic. But I know from the Bible and my Catholic Catechism that Faith is a huge part of being saved. I know that I need faith to be saved and cannot be saved without it. As I am sure you will agree to as well. Faith is just not exclusive in redemption. Unless you are talking about being converted on one's death bed. Then the only thing one needs is Baptism and faith in Christ as his Saviour to be saved. Most of us though are not reborn / accept our Lord on their death bed.

Do you bother with the Bible or is faith enough for you? ;) How about Baptism? Were you Baptized? 8)

By the way, just so we are on the same page. Baptism isn't a work that I do. Baptism is a gift from God. Baptism is a grace.

How would you define "works" and differentiate it from what is not?
