What do you believe to be a person’s requirement for salvation?

Gods word convicts us of our sins, we must acknowledge our sins, repent and believe and accept Jesus death on the cross as payment for our sins, turn from our sins and we will be saved. We are saved by grace and not works.

I agree.

...repenting from sin and turning against it doesn’t count as a ‘work’...? Do you contend that ‘grace’ is achieved through some involuntary osmotic process, independent of rational choice and subsequent action on that choice...?

...seems to me that ‘action’ and ‘work’ are one and the same...
