Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Yes, we can not do enough works to be saved, Gods grace is the only way in which we can be saved, and this is through faith.

How ever a man saying he has faith does not mean he has any faith.

That is why James said,

James 2
18
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

No contradiction there, just an explanation that words do not prove anything.
