Again, to a Catholic, faith is not a mere profession of words attesting to Jesus. Faith is a way of life, of living. Active not passive.

Jesus said of the coin, “Render unto Caesar, that which is Caesar’s.”

Well, we need to render to God that which is God’s. Faith and works(deeds, actions)are the two sides of what is God’s.

Faith is the beginning, the middle and the end of a Christian’s life and works are the results of that life.

That’s true for all true Christians.

“Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” John 6:28-29

>>Faith is the beginning, the middle and the end of a Christian’s life and works are the results of that life.<<

No disagreement there. It is faith in Jesus alone however. Not faith in a church.
