About as much as you may have interviewed the 1.5 billion with regards to your blanket statements.

However the fact remains that you have posted one statement that it is not sole fide for justification. This is quite different from sole fide for salvation. Salvation comes from Christ alone and you are justified from this by the means that Christ tells us

Justification is salvation.

When we are saved, we are justified before God.

It doesn’t happen at a later date.

Perhaps you mean *sanctification*, which is a process.

And yes, sanctification, becoming more and more Christlike, is the work of the Holy Spirit in us, but it’s not something we do to earn it. It’s not based on works we do, it’s based on work the Holy Spirit does in us to change our hearts.
