St. Paul repeatedly uses the word synergos, which is the root word of the English word synergy throughout his epistles to say that we work with God as his fellow worker.

The Greek Church has never adopted St. Augustine’s fatalistic interpretation of our role in salvation, which I might add was influenced by his time as a Manichean pagan.
This has mode of thinking has infected much of Western Christian thinking since from St. Thomas Aquinas to John Calvin.
I’d say the Greek Church understands Greek better than foreigners.
While it’s certainly refreshing to see an oftentimes ardent anti-Protestant polemicist such as yourself citing the Apostle Paul and holding him in apparently high esteem, I fail to see the disagreement between what I wrote and what you wrote.
No doubt native speakers of Greek grasp the Greek language better than those for whom it is a secondary language. But, what does that have to do with the subject at hand? Synergy? Of course there is synergy. There is no other way, whether man recognizes this or doesn’t.
Care to elaborate?
You're just saying this because it's true.
