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!

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?
