Well your first part is interesting. But to be Fair I know believers in Christ who act upon being a christian, who claim the same. The image I have is to over exaggerate to make a point. I do not believe most of these christians believe like your implying but some “look’ like it yes. Only God Knows what is in the heart.
I’m responding more to the conceptions I’ve seen among the Protestant posters on this forum.
But if we say that a faithful faith alone saves then I think even the Catholic Church could agree to that definition.
But I think we need to establish first how each side defines the word faith.
Or are we using the word “faith” in the context of how the word was used in St. Paul’s day.
Languages change and evolve.
Define the word faith.
