How do you know when you have done enough “works” for salvation?
Not Catholic. The formula is "faith-plus-works."
I have certainly heard that many times before and accept it as a standard answer. For those who have used the term "works-based salvation" with me, I have understood them to refer to "that which seals the deal". I accept that Catholics believe that faith is a part of salvation. The problem that I and like-mindeds have is the idea that salvation is DEPENDENT on our own works. Lots of people back in the day thought the same thing, and Paul ripped them to shreds. :)
