The verse is not about salvation and baptism is not a passive act for the one being baptized. No one drives you to the church and not one gets in the baptistery for you, it is something you do and therefore is a work.

The verse is not about salvation

Say what?? The entire letter is about salvation.

This chapter is particularly about faith, giving us portrait after portrait after portrait of what faith looks like. In short: FAITH DOES STUFF.

Your kind of "faith" is different. You won't find it in Hebrews 11, cuz it ain't in there. Only saving faith is.

it (baptism) is something you do and therefore is a work.

Oh, like believing on Jesus. I see.

Is that why, when those on Pentecost asked, "What shall we do?", Peter replied, "Oh there's nothing you need to do. It was all done at the cross"? /s

No, you better stick to arguing with man. Because your position can't survive the scrutiny of the Scriptures.
