If you're Christian, you might believe the keys to salvation are faith and good works.

My problem starts with this first sentence. We are saved by grace, through faith, for works. Works are NOT a key to salvation. Works are the fruits of salvation. Our works do not earn us salvation.

I think it results in a more accurate an comprehensive understanding to not try to separate the two, faith and works. When we do we get into an either/or that doesn’t exist in reality.
