That’s right. Faith is what brings us to salvation. Not works. But we do need to do works after we’ve been saved, the works that God intended for us to do from the beginning. Works are dead without faith.

Ok, can you explain your position a little better? You say Faith ALONE? Or are you saying that we NEED to do works TOO? We don't say works ALONE, it says properly that the prime mover is grace through faith. So do YOU believe in Sola Fide? ONLY Faith? It seems that you correctly, don't

as you say “Works are dead without faith”, what do you think of James 2:26, for as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also
