Not all Christians. Faith alone was instituted by protestants, Catholics still believe in a balance of faith and works

[quote]"4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:4-10[/quote] But it clearly states here in Ephesians that we are saved by the grace of God; not by ourselves, and not by our works. It is our faith in Jesus that [i]defines[/i] being a Christian, while doing good works is [i]an important duty[/i] of Christians. I don't know why Catholics would believe otherwise :(

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+2%3A14-26&version=NKJV Faith without works is dead. Yes we are saved by the grace of God, but not only the grace of God. Someone could believe in Jesus yet still commit awful crimes I don't mean any offence, this is just what we have believed since the beginning of Catholicism
