Again, you try to wiggle out of what YOU said, which is that in your opinion, if one does not read Scripture one’s faith is suspect and their salvation in doubt.

In effect, this is saying that one’s faith is revealed and even measured by one’s actions, IOW, deeds or works.

Jesus said “By their fruits, you will know them.” What are fruits? Are they not the results of the things the faithful do, in faith, out of love of Jesus and each other?

Yeah. And??????

Is that a problem for you?

Do you know what the fruit of the Spirit is?
