To: Hebrews 11:6
"Christianity does NOT save. Christ saves."

Cuts to the chase. Reminds me of something else he said. Asked something like, do we have souls, he responded in words to the effect, "No, we are souls. We have bodies."

Or was that Chesterton? No, I think it was Lewis.

and, quoting the above,
