So far, when it comes to the discussion of works and grace, none of you have ever taken the time to explain to me what you mean by works.

Ok...
Works...
Baptism, church attendance, meeting attendance, ‘priesthood’, endowments, temple rites, sealings, marriages, being honest, being a ‘good person’, scripture reading, charity, ritual observance, etc.
The reality is we cannot, cannot do anything to ‘clean ourselves up’, it is only AFTER we are Born Again by grace through faith that our works bring glory to God.
Now Christians WILL do some of the above, baptism, honesty, charity, Bible reading, church attendance but we do not do those things to impress God or because we think it will help us in our salvation at all.
You have given some good examples of what work is, but not a definition. I was hoping for a definition.
