Salvation has ALWAYS been by faith. It was never by works.

>>You like strawman arguments don’t you. Works of the Jewish law can’t save you.

That’s St. Paul’s message. He’s not referring to works that we do as a result of grace through faith.

Keep the canards to yourself.

If the works of the Law sent down from Mt. Sinai by Christ Himself can't save you, nothing you decide on yourself can save you either.

If the works God has decreed can't save you, the works the church decrees can't save you.

Nothing that you replace God's Law with can save you if even HIS Law can't.
