Do works EARN salvation, or are works something that just should be done? To make a crude analogy, is there like a ledger that you have to balance before you’re allowed in, or what?

Could someone explain how saying faith is what saves you but your works are what keep you saved ISN'T saying you're saved by your works?

[Mark17]

Could someone explain how saying faith is what saves you but your works are what keep you saved ISN'T saying you're saved by your works?

If they say it’s 99% faith, and only 1% works, then you can say it’s the same as 💯% by works. It won’t cut the mustard. 😁

Not sure that's possible.

Anything you add to the saving work of Christ on the cross is what you are depending on for salvation because you are saying that the work of Christ on the cross, suffering and dying and pouring out His blood for the atonement, itsn't enough.
