what part of “not as a result of works” are you not understanding?
All of it I would suspect. I know it is sad, and I used to be in it. I do not agree with the catholic plan of salvation, but here is the rub. There are quite a few other cults out there, whose plan of salvation is virtually word for word the same. Baptism, membership in "our" church, a small bit of faith and good works. They might all be wrong, but they certainly can't all be right. To give you an example, the Philippine Church of Christ members really don't like the Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Quiboloy's people, and others, but their plan of salvation is almost exactly the same. That's some stuff huh?
Grace is not a result of works. Not faith — grace.
