Who would these be? The Church teaches that good works are works that God through His grace enables us to do; that it is by grace and infinite merit of Christ's work on the Cross that our works become salvific for us. We are saved by grace alone, and not by grace and works.

Ummm...you, for starters. See post #537 of this thread:

Yes, you can say that. You can say that true mature faith is one that is accompanied by good works. But what you cannot say, because on that passage alone, that we are saved by faith alone. We are saved by faith and by good works.

Can't y'all make up your minds about this subject?

We are saved by grace alone but not by faith alone; we are saved by grace alone by our faith and our good works. I never said anything different on this thread or anyplace else.
