the bible is clear.
1. salvation is a free gift of God offered to everyone.
2. works are a product of faith not a means to attain faith.
3. if we say we love God and do not have any fruits or works to back that up we have a dead faith- or no faith at all.
4. really our works for the Lord come from a thankful heart realizing we are underserving of anything good from God let alone salvation and eternal life. God is so good!
Jesus has told us that we need for our salvation:
1. Faith in Jesus Christ as part of the Trinity and all God’s revealed Truths.
2. Baptism
3. The Eucharist, Consume His Body and Blood.
4. Keep His Commandments
5. Die in the state of grace (No mortal sins)
Does one have faith if they deny some of God’s Truths?
