I think that the Protestant belief in "through Grace alone" is a bit of an over-simplification. I'm a Protestant, of the British Methodist variety, and like most Protestants I can say that "Salvation is through Grace alone - but Works are also needed." (I know it's not logical but Faith and Logic don't always mix well.) The criteria for membership of the Methodist Church of Great Britain as stated in the 1932 Deed of Union: All those who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and accept the obligation to serve him in the life of the Church and the world are welcome as members of the Methodist Church. (My emphasis) At least some protestants believe that Works are more than just desirable. Thanks for the input from a Catholic viewpoint. I'll now have to re-read Leaf by Niggle with fresh eyes. . |
