Yes, thank you, that seems to suffice.

I was afraid you meant works like believing, or being baptized...acts by which we become “in Christ”.

Sometimes people lump those in with the “works” of Romans and Galatians (i.e. keeping the Law of Moses)...acts which Paul says are against becoming “in Christ”.

.
The “Works” you refer to in Romans and Galatians have nothing whatsoever to do with “the Law of Moses.” It is the false laws of men forced upon the Jews by the Pharisees. They were what Yeshua invoked the “woes” on the Pharisees and scribes for in Matthew 23.

If you read Acts 28, you will see that it is the “Law of Moses” that Paul preached throughout his ministry. (also see 1Corinthians 11 where he praises the Corinthians for keeping those “ordinances.”)
