Please either prove that "Catholics are taught (not by the bible) by their church that Jesus' death on the cross was not enough for their salvation..."

How many times have RCs posted that men are saved by faith in Christ AND by their good works?

Grace alone saves, completely and eternally.

And how many times have Catholics provided the truth about the application of "works" and "salvation" ?

Times without number.

BTW, I don't mind you answering my post, but I did ask Iscool.

Hebrews 11 begins with "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." It continues on to give numerous examples of faithful patriarchs. You will find similar examples in Romans, and James. In fact, every example of faithful people given demonstrate that their faith is demonstrated through their actions.

The artificial separation of faith (belief) and works that pervades so much of Christendom is just that, artificial. The Bible teaches no such separation. Faith is composed of the two inseparable components of belief and obedience. Only if one believes the gospel and obeys it does one access the hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ.
