Those who truly rely/trust in Christ alone, who paid our penalty for sin and make Him Lord of their lives, are saved.

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.

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.
