at one time I belonged to a works based religion (WBR) that will remain un named

If you'll pardon the interjection: if you'd only joined the Catholic Church, you wouldn't ever need to worry about belonging to a "works-based religion"; the Catholic Church condemned Pelagianism at the Council of Ephesus, over 1000 years before Luther was born.

So you too are trusting in an institution to save your immortal soul?

Why do many sites say that is true? I did a little research and that is what I found. One site even compared it to Islam.

Too bad it does not ACT like it.

LOL, the works based religion (WBR) I was in, WAS the Roman Catholic Church. MHG knew exactly what I meant. 😇😂😎 I am not into WBRs no matter if they think God saves 95% and they save 5% of themselves, and stop the Luther fixation. I am not positive what Luther believed and I don't follow him. I am sure Luther would roll over in his grave if he knew some people took his name and started a religious denomination with it. You can believe whatever you like. Have a nice eternity. Maybe I will see you at the pearly gates. 🇵🇭😃😀😄
