FK: "I thought that you believe that deeds grow one's faith."

No, we believe that faith moves you to do deeds in God's name. A faith that does not move you to do God's work is dead faith.

I would also say that faith produces good deeds, and faith comes only from God. So, our difference would be to what degree you believe faith is man-generated. My view is to say 0%.

That is not our difference at all! Everything you say is what Catholics and Orthodox believe: faith comes from God; faith move sus to do good works in His name. Where we differ is that the Church believes, and has always believed, that man is free and capable to accept or reject the faith.

I would respectfully disagree. Faith doesn't produce anything. God does. Whether it is our love, our faith, our repentance, our contrition - it is all moved by God. God calls man to respond to Him in faith, in love, in repentence. WE are called to become righteous. To the degree that we become more like Christ, we will become more holy. If you view that man does nothing, than your view of God is quite different from mine and the Holy Writ.
