Maybe in a Roman Catholic mind...
... We must always understand that our failures and weakness are no match for God's grace and love that He has for us. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NIV) But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. {10} That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Our works always end in failure and suffering, demonstrating our weakness, then we come to the end of our self and call out to our Father of Compassion. Then God gives us His strength and ability to overcome, causing us to love Him and trust Him more and more. (Galatians 3:11 KJV) But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. In rescuing us God is glorified, if it was by our efforts we could claim the glory. ... -seekGod.org
As the link in my first post indicated ... The Bible is clear that faith holds a first and prominent role in the salvation of every person. (The Bible is equally clear on the saving role of good works in the lives of the faithful.)
