that quote in itself is perfectly Catholic. To be Catholic one must acknowledge that works of free will, under grace, contribute to faith and hence to salvation; there are many ways to express it.

You're misreading Lurcaris. He said that good works are the fruit of salvation, not a means to it.

And for that belief, he was murdered.

LUCARIS. There seem to be many ways to spell his name, but Lurcaris isn't one of them.

You're misreading [Lucaris]. He said that good works are the fruit of salvation, not a means to it.

I was told that the totality of his works were Calvinist, but the individual quote in itself is fine. It is also fine to say that the good works are a product or "fruit" of the faith. It is, however, heretical to say that the good works an nothing more that such fruit, as the relationship between faith and good works is two-way.
