Say what you will, but almost every catholic I ask has that response, I’m not a catholic anymore, so no need to convince me, I know how it works and what is taught.
Please, take a little time to look at what the Church actually teaches about salvation.

Show where the Church teaches that you can be saved by works. What you 'know' is simply not true.
I'll be waiting for your response.
I’m a thankful Catholic convert & I can assure you the Church does NOT teach what you claim. Peace be with you.
