Your first link said directly that we’re not saved by our works,

Which is true, we're not saved by works alone, just as we're not saved by faith alone.

and now all you’re proving is that you’re unreliable when citing sources.

Both are official Orthodox sources and both are correct.

When you provide an actual statement of theology from EO and not some random opinion site,

You're the one claiming you believe the same as the Orthodox regarding faith and works. You provide the "actual statement of theology from the EO" to prove it.

Your initial link proved my point just fine, according to our actual doctrine and not your strawman.

Protestants and EO—if the EO wiki is to be believed—both believe that salvation is a free gift that works are the faithful response to. The only difference is a cultural one that places emphasis at different points of the Christian life.

It’s only Roman Catholics who think that the gift is not free and you have to earn salvation with works in order to get the gift.
