**The Catholic church stands in opposition to that. **
In opposition to what? Scripture? No. Tradition? No
Why do you try to tell me what to believe or what Catholics believe? How do you know?
Because I can read, because the Catholic church codifies everything but its Tradition. Depending on the source, there are between 250+ to 400+ dogmas of the Catholics. Non-disputable as a Catholic, that they are require to adhere to lest they become estranged from the church and be denied heaven. Some of this dogma has arisen in the last 500 years some within the last 150.
If this required work was covered in the Gospel of John, you know the verse that says "31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.", there wouldn't be anything left in John but an exposition of this dogma. Since most of it isn't there in one form or another, it CANNOT be required for salvation.
Yet the Catholic church burdens its members with it. Even the Pharisees who had 600 odd additional laws, never claimed to speak infallibly in the place of God, denying salvation where the Gospel says otherwise. While both teach a works righteousness, one based on the Law, the other support of the organization, they both contravene the clear words of God on the subject.
Some of your 'Tradition' stands opposed not only to what scripture says, but also dogma of the Catholic church. Now since 'Tradition' isn't codified it can't be 'enforced' so to speak. But that stance isn't in concert with scripture either, because it causes confusion.
