Roman Catholic double-speak that says we are "saved by grace" but then "judged according to our works"

That is what the Holy Scripture says; send your complains to St. Matthew and St. Paul:

Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in: Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me. Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink? And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee? Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee? And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me. (Matthew 25:34-40)

But God, (who is rich in mercy,) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ, (by whose grace you are saved,) And hath raised us up together, and hath made us sit together in the heavenly places, through Christ Jesus. That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God; Not of works, that no man may glory. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:4-10)

Alex, I see all the scriptures you posted in several different posts. How are you coming up with your summaries? Level with me bro. When I was a member of the Roman Catholic Church (there, I didn’t say RCC) I was always told I needed a priest to interpret scripture for me. Is this no longer in affect, or are you doing YOPIOS again? 😁 It’s ok if you do. I am merely asking. It’s been decades since I left the Roman Catholic Church (there, I didn’t say RCC again) so maybe the interpretation issue has been changed. By all means, enlighten me, and feel free to demolish my stuff. 😇🙏😝🤣😆

We are judged righteous by our faith.

Our works are judged and rewarded later. But the reward is not salvation. It’s crowns we receive for faithful service because the salvation is already a done deal.

No, it's not. You're playing semantical games AKA "double-speak". Let me know if/when you want to have an honest discussion.
