If the Protestants begin to realize that we are not saved by faith alone, but by faith embodied in good works done out of our onw free will,

Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by GRACE you have been saved, through FAITH and this NOT from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God— NOT BY WORKS, so that no one can boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9

For about a tenth time on this thread someone quotes to me Eph 2 trying to stop at verse 9. But verse 10 is what I was alluding to in my post: "we are [God's] workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them".

Ephesians 2:8-10 teaches salvation by grace alone; grace is not by our works; faith and works both are product of grace and both are necessary for salvation, and God alone gets the glory.
