Catholics tell us it's something else, that faith isn't enough.
It is Jesus who say that we will not be forgiven if we do not forgive others. And also:
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?’ Then I will declare to them solemnly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.’ (Matthew 7:21-23)I'll go with Jesus and what he actually said.
You say you will go with what Jesus said? Yet you have not a clue what the Bema Seat of Christ in HEAVEN is all about because you keep conflating the state of the unregenerate with the being raised up in the Way that we born from above must go in God’s family. Those Jesus spoke of in matthew 7 are precisely what the deluded devout lost catholics will say when they try to bring their works to Jesus as proof of their faith in Him. None of the works will have the level of righteousness of God so they will not be works of repentance but rather pride. You should understand that, if you are diligently seeking Him.
Which goes to prove that works cannot save anyone.
Those people are appealing to their works to save them.
Amen! You speak the truth.
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
