I personally have never been taught that anyone is saved by works but you have to take my word for it and I have just been called a liar and "an insulting servant of deceit" so you'll have to take that with a grain of salt.

False sacramental system = false works.
Grace + required works = works saved.
There is no treasury of merit distributed through the sacraments.
There is no saving grace earned through sacraments.
Do you deny the Roman sacramental System?
The Church affirms that for believers the sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for salvation”, although not all are necessary for every individual,[10]

This is a system of works, never taught in the New Testament
Full sentence...
The Church affirms that for believers the sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for salvation”, although not all are necessary for every individual,[10] and has placed under anathema those who deny it: “If any one saith, that the sacraments of the New Law are not necessary unto salvation, but superfluous; and that, without them, or without the desire thereof, men obtain of God, through faith alone, the grace of justification;-though all (the sacraments) are not indeed necessary for every individual; let him be anathema.”[11]
But, what is the point? We already know that Evangelicals and Roman Catholics agree on many of the major tenets of the Christian faith. I have a good idea that you are also familiar with those where we disagree. Should we not better spend our time discussing those or is that pointless to you?

I guess I will have to also take it with a grain of salt that you have "never been taught that anyone is saved by works" since I used to be a Roman Catholic and I know that is not true - but I won't call you a liar (I won't "make it personal).
Answer me this if you will...why do you think when I read John 10:27-30 I knew immediately that I had NOT been told the true gospel growing up as a Roman Catholic? Here is the passage:
You've uh....tossed around a few words on this thread as well.
Perhaps you better step down from that soapbox.
