Nope, read the sheep and goats passage in Matthew. People are condemned by their actions and lack of actions.

“Faith without works is dead” pretty plain scripture. To try and divorce faith and works has never been the teaching of the church.

"“Faith without works is dead” pretty plain scripture. To try and divorce faith and works has never been the teaching of the church."

Indeed, as even Luther also formally taught. Yet by even proabortion, prohomosexual public figures being manifestly considered members in life and in death, besides a less liberal majority, Rome signals that this is what is meant by faithfulness.

To try and divorce faith and works has never been the teaching of the Catholic church.
