Sweetheart, in 716 you demonstrated nothing because everything you said in it, including your amplifications, is in broad agreement with the Catholic teaching.

It will take more time than I may have left this evening to post a detailed reply to those Scriptures
I'll wait then.
REWARDS are granted on the basis of works. NOT SALVATION.
That, too, but the scripture in Matthew 5-7, 25 and Romans 2:6-10 plainly speaks of salvation and condemnation and not of rewards additionally obtained by the elect.
Your next post (apparently, some time last night was about to be left unused)
IF SALVATION is in the discussion, then the BEST OF WORKS WITH THE BEST OF ATTITUDES AND MOTIVES are not any more recemptive than the worst used ___tex—according to Scripture
Isaiah's reference to filthy rags in 64:6 speaks of works generated by man alone outside of the grace of Christ. This is why the redemption worked by Christ is necessary for salvation. This verse does not invalidate the salvific role of works in the Church that Christ built.
Your next postthe notion that we can have no sense of security in our Salvation delivered by the Blood of Jesus smacks me as a huge insult to Christ’s Blood
How come? I'd say the notion that Christ came to save automatons into whom He plants at some imaginary early moment of "salvation" faith, whereupon they proceed with good works as programmed irrespective of their salvation already accomplished -- that notion insults Christ. Not surprisingly, it is nowhere in the scripture.
“the scripture in Matthew 5-7, 25 and Romans 2:6-10 plainly speaks of salvation and condemnation and not of rewards additionally obtained by the elect.”
Romans 2: 6-10 is so clear, yet ignored by our brothers.
