You are absolutely correct. My point was that once we have accepted Christ and His atoning sacrifice, our salvation is secured at the cost of His blood. That it is never something worked for. The realization of that salvation comes at the time of our death or at the Glorious Appearing, whichever occurs first. We continue to live within the confines of a sinful world but not conform to it and are thus providing works as a demonstration of our faith and for the love we have for Jesus.
That's a nice, concise word, and I will adopt it for explaining the nature of the transaction to others who haven't yet seen their situation clearly.
With respect --

That is not what God’s word says, that is what the twisted churchian Lao Dicean mind wants it to say.
God’s word universally says that salvation will be the end of our faith, at the last trump. No part of it says anything different.
Matthew 7:23 states what those that hold your belief will be told.
Do you ever ‘teach’ on Matthew 7?
