This is a very interesting, and very polarizing, question.

I have two kind of works-related questions:

1) What is the meaning of Final Judgement? The shepherd knows His own, yes? So at the second coming, when the wheat is sifted from the chaff and the sheep are separated from the goats, what is it that is being sifted and judged, if not works?

2) To what extent is faith a work? Many of my most convicted “faith alone” friends struggle mightily to be seen as believers, I suppose reflecting their internal struggle over it.

Those are interesting questions but could you clarify the second one a bit?

*Their own internal struggle over it* in what way exactly?

In trying to live as they know they should or the struggle with actually believing that salvation is by faith alone?

I fail to see how this is polarizing.

Peter had professed belief in Christ on several occasions.

If this scenario had happened....does he go to Heaven or Hell?

Should be a straightforward yes or no.
