Not according to John the Beloved:
Right.
1 John 2 4He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
Whose point are you arguing? I am arguing that we need to work out or faith, and that faith is accompanied by righteous works, to be genuine. That we are not saved just by saying we have faith, but by living and persevering in the faith all of our days.
This is exactly what John says here. One who says "I know Him" but does not keep the Commandments is a liar.
How much more clear does this have to be? We are saved not by saying we have faith, but by living it.
By living the faith you can know that you are saved. Not by just one day saying you have faith.

I agree with you here.
If we have faith, ... we will live out that faith.
It would be impossible to do otherwise.
