Salvation by grace – believing.

Didn't we just agree that faith must be accompanied by works? Why do you try to equate "grace" with "believing"?

No.

Why do you try to equate "grace" with "believing"?

Because God does.

Seems to me Jesus Himself answered that question rather succinctly.

“Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” John 6:28-29
