"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.

If you hold that "true faith" is faith with works, then we are only arguing about semantics. There are those, however, that hold that faith alone, even without good works, is sufficient for salvation.
