Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Our works to not contribute to our salvation.
They are the fruit of it, the natural end results of a reborn spirit, evidence of salvation.
Besides, your verses did not support having to attend Catholic churches to depend on it for salvation.
