Pseudo-Christianity, still salvation by works

 

I am just going to express an observation.

It is evident that in this world, there are those who claim the Bible as authority for their faith. I observed too that these groups do attack the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. It is their common target.

Just a disclaimer: Please note, I do not deem to protect the RCC, I am a classical Evangelical Protestant.

However, they would criticise Roman Catholic practices like praying to the saints, praying the rosary, doing novenas and thousands more. They have claims of its corruption, pointing to how such practices can never be found in Scripture.

In other words, they are bad works not the real work that should be done.

The good works some of them claim go like this... do not eat pork, do not have blood transfusion, worship not on a Sunday but on this day, do not believe Jesus is the divine Son of God, be baptized in our church group,  etc, etc.

In the end, it seems to me, they are saying those RCC works are not the good works you should do but these good works that we have listed, by our group, are the good works you should do to be saved.

Thus, salvation by their teaching, is again by works and not by faith alone through the finished work of Christ alone.
