“Which is correct as described by Jesus, the Apostles, the prophets, in 90% of the New Testament. “

...and totally, definitively disputed by the Apostle Paul. The RCC’s misinterpretation of the book of James is where they go wrong.

Essentially, faith RESULTS in works. Works have no part in salvation.

We can agree to disagree on this.

The RCC's interpretation of the book of James is backed by the rest of the Bible.

Jesus was very clear on the relationship between works and salvation. Every person will be judged by their works. Their works will determine the level of faith they have in God.

John 9:4
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

For any interpretation to be accurate it has to be in harmony with all the others.

Most people misinterpret Romans. Grace is by Jesus Christ alone. Salvation is from Jesus Christ alone. But Jesus has some rules. And He made it very clear that those rules have to be followed.

Jesus also made it clear that the vast majority of those that believe in Him will not be saved.
