Yes. Due to insistent badgering, I have explained in the most simple terms WHY it is required. You know, A=B, etc.

You have ignored my explanations.

It still remains that salvation is -through- Christ alone.

I need faith to be saved. My faith does not save me. Christ does.
I need repentance to be saved. My repentance does not save me. Christ does.
I need good works to be saved. My good works do not save me. Christ does.
I need the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be saved. The Gospel of Jesus Christ does not save me. Christ does.
I need the teachings of Joseph Smith to be saved. The teachings of Joseph Smith does not save me. Christ does.

Are you seeing a pattern here? You are conflating two things: -requisites- for salvation (faith, acceptance of prophets, etc.) and the -source- of salvation (Christ). I am saying that they are two different things.

Why has it taken three hundred posts for me to get this through to you? Perhaps there really is none so deaf as he who will not hear?
