I have spent a lot of time among Evangelicals, and (leaving aside the fact that faith is a work) I have never met a group of more works-oriented Christians - not Reformed, not Emergent, and certainly not RCs.
And works can be many different things....physical works, financial works, spiritual works...each called according to his/her spiritual gifts and talents.
Some are called to give money, others are called to preach, others are called to raise godly children and keep a godly home, etc. Works are certainly many and varied and naturally flow from someone who is born again of the Spirit.
I do disagree though that faith is a work. All the “work” in/of faith has been done by God. We believe and then once born of the Spirit, we go out and tell others the good news. We do “works” as the Spirit directs us. Any “works” done before being Spirit filled are just that...works with no supernatural direction and without eternal rewards.
God bless,
