Faith without works is dead.
Indeed ... genuine faith will produce commensurate works.John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
On this we don't disagree. The Catholic Church calls such faith "fides formata" -- faith well formed. Where we seem to disagree that unless the faithful makes the decision to do these works in his own little head, he will lose what faith he has, because even God cannot drive a parked car. And this is the meaning of the Gospel.
