Faith alone saves. If you believe that your works will save you, to any degree, you are not saved. That includes most of your self-righteous fools who think edifying yourselves is more inportant than preaching the Truth. The 1st works are to evangelize. That means talking to others about Christ. Whether they are complete strangers, in-person or by correspondence, it is your DUTY to bring the Gospel to every creature.
Instead, I see this board filled with wicked "men" stroking their egos and obvious antichrists sewing discord. In order to preach the Gospel & bring others to Christ, the 1st works, you must try. You must be saved yourself. The King James is the true Bible for those of us who speak and read English, yet I anticipate some snotty, latin speaking reprobates to come say otherwise despite not being able to hail a taxi in Greek or Hebrew.
No man is saved while he lives. And the majority of the human race is likely damned, so this is no surprise (though not at all for the Protestant reasons you have listed here).
Whew, that's a load off my chest! Here I was trying like mad to do "works" like serving God and avoiding sin, when it turns out all I had to do was believe! Brb gonna go call a hooker

Man Protestants trying to justify their beliefs are so cute

So your salvation can be cancelled if you don't subscribe to a specific soteriology? Isn't that a sort of intellectual works, added to your faith? So faith in Christ isn't sufficient to you OP. It's faith in Christ plus your soteriology….weird.
