You spittle, "Works-based salvation is a fiction concocted by the so-called Reformers to convince the “Sheeple". Then in the same paragraph you assert, "... the “cheap-grace” heresy of Sola Fide was promulgated which has lured countless souls to perdition over the past 500 years." And I doubt seriously that you can see how self contradictory your assertions are.

God's Grace is not cheap. Jesus gave His Life to obtain it for all who believe Whom God sent for their salvation:

John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed.

29 Jesus answered and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent.

40And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son and believeth in him may have life everlasting. And I will raise him up in the last day.

64 It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 65 And he said: Therefore did I say to you that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father.

68 And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we have believed and have known that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.

Therein is the Gospel of the Grace of God in Christ. Therein is the means to eternal life as God's gift for ALL who believe in Whom He sent for their salvation. And it is not cheap.

God’s Grace is not cheap.

Absolutely true. It’s the doctrine of Sola Fide that’s a “cheap grace” heresy, not God’s Grace. His Grace and “cheap grace” are entirely different things, and you would know that had you not been indoctrinated to believe they are one and the same!
