No, you are looking for an escape clause that will satisfy your desire to add to Faith Alone in Christ Alone. Your works are filth. Get over yourself and trust in Him Alone.

John 6:40 harkens back to John 3, where Jesus taught Nicodemus the Gospel of Grace. You add ANYTHING to the Gift of God in Christ and you have spit upon God's Grace.

You say you are not looking for an argument yet that is exactly what you are doing, arguing with the CLEAR meaning of God's explanation at several points in the Gospel record.

Do you want to accept eternal Life by Christ's work ALONE/ Or do you want your filthy rags works to be added? Uou are clearly trying to argue God down to a legalism of your choosing, rather than accept the Grace of God ONLY in Christ's finished work.

“Do you want to accept eternal Life by Christ’s work ALONE/ Or do you want your filthy rags works to be added? ”

.....

BINGO!

The Catholic mind is prideful of his worldly religion.
He believes his good works make him worthy.
She believes pagan rituals bring grace.
She believes all that is added to Scripture is equal to what God inspired.
And of course, they have a pantheon of lesser gods, like Mary.

All of this is what they demand God accept, instead of the One who gave His life.

It is all worldly paganism.
