I agree with God...Ephesians 2:8-9 - “For *it is by grace you have been saved, through faith*—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— *not by works*, so that no one can boast.”
We are saved by grace, through faith and not by works.
Couldn’t be any more specific.
Faith that saves is always followed by a life marked by good works, as a result.

Sorry. Your interpretation lacks logic to me.
There is no interpretation. I agreed literally with what God through Paul literally wrote! 😀

I can’t see how there can BE any possible other interpretation.
But it really sounds like he’s trying to argue that “Not by works” actually means “Definitely by works.”
