"You’re looking for an unconditional guarantee, and no such thing is offered."

Of course it isn't offered. If it were offered, it would be a work in accepting the offer.

It's the call of the elect and how one responds which allows our faith to be efficacious for His gracious gift of salvation.

You clearly have demonstrated that you have no grasp of what the term “works” means.

For example our acts of obedience to commandments are not works.

Works are human concoctions of actions that ‘should’ please Yehova (but never do). (for example the Pharisees Takanot and Ma’assim, or the Catholics Christmas, Lent, and Easter)
