——>Saved by faith. Rewarded for works, but not saved by works.

No.

Saved by faith (Grace) for PAST sins only...from condemnation of the law, then JUDGED on your works, over your lifetime, as a PROFESSED Christian.

Paul’s distinction between “under law” and “under grace” in Romans 6:14-15 has to do with states of persons who are “under condemnation by the law” or “freed from condemnation through Christ.

“Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of SINS THAT ARE PAST, through the forbearance of God;” Romans 3:24-25

“But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his OLD SINS.” 2 Peter 1:9

Regarding the NEW COVENANT...

Hebrews 9:15For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free FROM THE SINS COMMITTED UNDER THE FIRST COVENANT.

Grace covers PAST sins only. There is no OSAS/OJAJ...only those that foolishly believe it, because they have believed their false teachers/ministers.
