That's one very confused paragraph...

"The gospel is not a religion of works, but a religions of faith."

Okay, that reminds me of this:

"This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of FAITH?"—Galatians 3:2

Wherefore the confusion?

This part is confused:

You can’t do anything to be saved—rather, God saves you on the basis of your faith

So you have to have faith to be saved, do you? That's doing something, isn't it?

Protestants believe that you don’t work for your salvation, and that nobody is good enough to deserve salvation. But thankfully salvation does not come on the basis of works

The author has two different kinds of works there. The explanation he seeks is right in front of him. He's nearly there, but can't see it. Paul's contrast between faith and works in Romans is a contrast between faith and those works that would make one good enough to deserve a "not guilty" verdict.
