I can do no good works and still be saved by my faith, but I would also be a poor witness and a poor Christian. But I would still go to the presence of God the Father for eternity based upon my faith in what CHRIST did, not what I did or did not do.

There has only been One that has exhibited 'Good' works, and it sure ain't me. Yet I have still have hope to be in the presence of God because of the works by my Savior Jesus Christ.

So, if it is all about grace, then what about this?

From the article:

Latter-day Saints believe that other aspects of Christ’s gift are conditional upon obedience and diligence in keeping God’s commandments. For example, while members of the human family are freely and universally given a reprieve from Adam’s sin through no effort or action of their own, they are not freely and universally given a reprieve of their own sins unless they pledge faith in Christ, repent of those sins, are baptized in his name, receive the gift of the Holy Ghost and confirmation into Christ’s church.

What about baptism into the LDS, LDS priesthood, membership and temple rites? How do those fit in? They certainly are not Biblical requirements for justification.
