I would never claim that our works save us - they don’t - but we are commanded to repent and “bring forth fruits meet for repentance”.

- - - - - -
But that isn’t what the LDS teaches.

Define ‘save’ and compare and contrast to ‘exaltation’.

Are works needed (of any type) to get us back into the presence of God the Father for Eternity??

I know the LDS answer and it isn’t what you stated above.

I believe that we are able to return to the presence of the Father and the Son through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

In order for Christ’s sacrifice to become effective in our lives we must believe in Him, repent of our sins and have a mighty change of heart — be born again. We need to be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost and endure in faith to the end of our lives which I take to mean striving to keep the commandments of God and continuing to repent of our sins when we fall short.
