RCC say ' works is needed for salvation '.

Bible say "faith without works is dead" James 2:20


Luke 23:
[39] One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
[40] But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?
[41] And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."
[42] And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."
[43] And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

And what was this man's "work"? It was FAITH!

My impression is that in Catholic thought faith is a grace AND a work. In Protestant thought, however, it is simply a gift, a grace

Is faith a work in your thought?

Is faith that Jesus is God necessary for salvation in your view?
