That's pretty much the point I'm trying ot make.

I've heard it sooo many times from the godsquads that wander around town 'saving' people.
It's never as simple as just believing. They always say it's simply grace.
As far as I see it, the proper way to describe it would be that they are saved by grace after doing all that they can do because no matter how good you are or try to be, you'll never be perfect enough to be worthy of a supreme being's presence.
I see works as very important, otherwise you'd never understand what it is to sacrifice or love. If life (from a christian view) is meant to be a test, then aren't you meant to do your 'homework' so that you can understand the subject matter before you stand in front of your maker?
