"That's a weak answer. The catholic maintains you have to do works to keep your salvation."

That's a FALSE answer, wrong in itself and also falsely attributed to Catholicism.

If I had one favor I could request of my FReeper friends for the New Year, I would request that you refrain from making erroneous statements about Catholic doctrine, of which you manifestly do not have an adequate understanding.

I do try to do the same for other people's faiths; and when I fail in this respect, by attributing something erroneously to your creed or practice, please know I will appreciate a charitable correction.

Well, maybe you would like to clarify for us. Do Catholics believe that it's faith alone which saves or faith along with works?

“If I had one favor I could request of my FReeper friends for the New Year,”

I don’t think you understand this New Year’s Resolution process correctly...
