Living a faith-filled, chaste, good life, doesn’t count?
No. It does not. The most minor sin is vile in God’s sight. We are saved, only, by the grace and sacrifice of Christ who washes away the stench of our sin. Hide in the rock of His salvation. Do not believe yourself capable of standing firm in your own strength before the Lord.
Yes, it does count. BUT it doesn’t save. Works proves and improves your faith. Those who shun works and the Ten Commandments know they have secret sins they don’t want addressed.
For rewards in heaven when we stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ, not for salvation itself when sinners stand before God for their eternal destiny.
Only if it is Jesus in us doing it.
Our own works from our carnal selves are nothing but filthy rags.
Living a "faith-filled chaste good life" with all the dependence on the Catholic Mary (as differentiated from the Biblical hand maiden of the Lord Mary) for prayers and intercession is counterproductive to true Christianity.
Reject all the Catholic tangents and come directly to Jesus as He instructs throughout the New Testament.
