The writer says:
We are saved by Christ's grace alone, through faith and works done in charity inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Would you comment on that, please?

I already have in the post you found objectionable.

The caveat of Rome is that man must exercise his own free will in cooperating in those good works and are meritorious towards the attainment of salvation. Thus, man finishes the work Christ began on the Cross through the exercise of his free will in the cooperation and fulfilling of those meritorious works. Thus rendering the Atonement of Christ and the Redemption bought with His blood, only a potential Atonement which must be accessed by acts of a man's free will and not an Actual Atonement which accomplished what Christ said it would, which is the Redemption of the Elect.

Therefore, it is free will acts of men that are the ultimate decider of his own salvation.
