This certainly supports the position that good works are a consequence of salvation not a catalyst.

Not at all; good works must accompany faith. Faith without works is dead (At least that is what the Bible says).

Which is exactly my point. If one has truly been regenerated with the gift of faith then good works will follow. If they do not there then there is no true faith.
