RE: One gets the impression that a lot of people dont really understand the religion they profess.
We better hope most Muslims don’t understand clearly what Islam and the Koran really teaches...
Often they don’t, and they don’t like it when they learn it. There was a case in Australia where Christians from Pakistan were convicted of “religious vilification” simply for reading from the Koran words that local Moslems didn’t like.

The irony is that they know their Koran better because it teaches that the balance of their good works vs their bad works is essential for salvation and simple faith means nothing.
As long as a Christian has a saving faith in the completed work of Christ on the cross, then all their good works are to the glory of God (and not for salvation) anyway.
