Ah, so it's faith AND works.
What you are describing DOES NOT seem to be once saved, always saved because there is no guarantee that a person will continue to trust Christ alone. This is an ongoing process, in other words it is a WORK.
Ah, so it's faith AND works.
No, it's Faith, then Works. Think thief on the cross again.
As a Catholic do you believe all your future sins have been forgiven?
As a Catholic do you believe you HAVE eternal life or have conditional life based on performance?
TRUE saving faith is not a work.. like Dorothy clicking her heels together
It is a gift of God...
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
