The gospel is not a religion of works, but a religions of faith. You can’t do anything to be saved—rather, God saves you on the basis of your faith, which is itself on the basis of the work of Christ on your behalf. Protestants believe that you don’t work for your salvation, and that nobody is good enough to deserve salvation. But thankfully salvation does not come on the basis of works but instead on the basis of faith.
That's one very confused paragraph - which likely betrays one very confused author.

How about:
Faith = Salvation + works
or
Faith + works = Salvation

Okay, that reminds me of this:
"This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of FAITH?"—Galatians 3:2
Wherefore the confusion?
