“Christ paid in full for our salvation and it was perfect and complete. Nothing we do will “gain” our salvation. Claiming we need to do something to “gain” salvation is to claim that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was incomplete.”

Christ redeemed mankind, His death doesn’t cover all our
sins, a mistaken false Protestant teaching.
Protestantism, a tiny little bit of truth mixed with all the heresies. One heresy, you have to keep saying “works” (our lives lived) are NOT what determines if we go to Heaven. To support Martin Luther’s lie of Faith alone.
No, it’s faith and works, with the help of God’s grace.
If His death didn't cover all our sins, then HE COULDN'T have redeemed all mankind, because without the shedding of blood, there is NO FORGIVENESS of sins. There is NO WAY to be cleansed from our sins except by forgiveness and there is no way to receive forgiveness except by the shedding of blood.
Anyone who thinks that they can pay for their own sins is deceiving themselves..... for now.

Not true.

God helps us get ourselves to heaven? That leaves room for man to boast.
Scripture speaks against that as well. It's totally by undeserved forgiveness on God's part. If our works contributed to our salvation, then our salvation would be deserved.
