Besides, we Catholics never in 2000 years had we been taught that works is the way to salvation, instead we were taught that we are saved by Grace through Faith and Works, not by Grace through Faith Alone.

Then you and many other folks have a dilemma...

You absolutely know that in Ephesians, as was posted here twice, that Faith and Faith only saves you, without works...And you have other scriptures that tell you that works is required along with Faith to save you...

You can't just throw one in the trash and pick the one you like...You're stuck with both of them...

Once again, the Sola Scriptura error.

No error, no picking and choosing. Works is a consequence of faith; no works, there wasn’t faith. Like turning on the lightbulb in a dark room: if no light follows, either the switch wasn’t turned on or the bulb is dead.

Sola Scriptura holds. It may surprise some that it is the human interpretation thereof that may be flawed.
