Uh-huh.

Yep, uh-huh. You still haven't answered. Do you believe as do the Orthodox regarding faith and works:

    "The reception of the gift of salvation is not a one-time event but a life-time process" and

    "A person is justified by works and not by faith alone”

So you’re telling me that Paul gave some super word of mouth traditions that completely invert what he and the other Apostles actually wrote?

I didn't tell you anything. I just quoted St. Paul. Believe him or not.

What are those traditions Paul taught them? Hint...context is your friend in trying to answer this question.

Oh boo hoo, I didn’t think it worthwhile to reply to self contradictory nonsense.

Your first link said directly that we’re not saved by our works, and now all you’re proving is that you’re unreliable when citing sources.

When you provide an actual statement of theology from EO and not some random opinion site, I might listen. Until then you’re full of excrement.

And in the meantime, my sources say that EO believes that salvation is a free gift from God. Which Protestants believe as well. Only difference is that we come at the same truth from different angles: the truth being that saving faith results in a change of life that transforms the sinner into a Christ-like person.

It’s only Roman Catholics that say that you have to ‘merit graces’ like eternal life through works.
