If you ask someone (i mean someone who really knows that religion) in the Catholic church, how are we saved. Here is the what the answer wil be.
They beleive the are saved by faith, Yes. But also saved by works. Huh? How can it be both? Either God saved us, because he is the author of faith. OR, we save ourselves by walking old ladies across the street, calling ourself Good samaratins, and counting how many prayers we said, and how many times a week we went to church.
The Bible teaches we are saved by faith alone, a free gift of God. God is the author of faith, and not us.
Works is saying we have the capability by ourselves, through baptism, through prayer, through works to get to heaven. I mean come on! It's one or the other!!! If we are saved by works, what do we need Jesus for then if we can DO anything ourselves?
We are saved by faith + Nothing. Adding anything to the cross if corrupting the word of God.
