No you did not answer my question.

Yes...I did. So unless, you are insistent that the exact words "faith alone" appear in the verse, then you should move on to explaining why you believe that this verse does not teach sola fide. Saying that I have not answered your question is simply false. Saying that I have not answered it to your satisfaction would be more accurate.

Works of the law, or works we can boast of, are not required for salvation. I already agree with that. Faith is required. I agree with that. The verse you posted did not state, or teach, that we are saved by faith alone. Please list just one verse or passage that teaches we are saved by faith "alone". Thank you.

I already have.

Would you please explain to me how obedience is not a work? And also how obedient one must be in order to be saved?

Scripture teaches that works of the law, or works of the flesh, which are meritorious works of which we can boast, are not required for salvation. However, we are commanded to believe(Romans 10:17), repent of our sins(Acts 2:38), confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God(Romans 10:9-10), and be baptized for the remission of our sins(Mark 16:16,Acts 2:38,Romans 6:4). We are also expected to continue to "walk in the light" (1 John 1:7).
