It's not different. Let me put it on a bumper sticker for you ...

what does the church of Rome ADD TO that statement as requirements

(If the RCC adds anything as you claim) ... To live according to His Word.

[BibChr]

Okay, al dear al, I swear I'm not meaning to be argumentative, but that statement as I'm trying to plain-English it, means that you believe that salvation is won/earned/received/bestowed (pick your verb) ON THE BASIS OF (or by means of) our faith and our works. That is Rome's position.

The position I laid out, what I understand the Bible to be teaching, is quite different. At least we ought to be clear on that; hard to dialogue otherwise. Like once when I talked with an RC priest; nice guy, liked him a lot, but it was like boxing with a fog-bank.
