As for Satan and his angels, you are correct, that is one needs to separate from both the Orthodox Churches and RCC since both reject the only way to salvation, faith alone in Christ alone.

Now why on earth would the Church switch to an unbiblical notion such as "faith alone"? Can you give me a verse that says we are saved by faith ALONE? James 2 specifically says the OPPOSITE!

For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt, but to him that worketh not but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness (Rom.4:3-5)

James 2 is speaking of showing what you believe by works, not works contributing to salvation.
