We are saved by Faith alone.. We are not saved by works.. One must have faith that ones sins are forgiven by the work of Jesus on the cross.. Like the first Passover Lamb who's blood covered the doors of the Hebrews in Egypt saving them from the Angel of death that Passed Over the homes that had the blood of the Lamb.. So to does the Blood of the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world cover those who have faith in it from the eternal second death in the Lake of fire..
The statement in the Bible is that those who are saved will have/ do good works and if a person has no good works then that is a clear sign they are not saved and their profession is fake.. It does not mean that anyone is saved either fully or partially by their good works.. It's not a combination of both.. We are saved 100% by what Jesus died for us..
People who preach what you preach will one day cry LORD LORD and He will say i never knew you.. Take very close note of what these people put forward to Jesus in their vain attempt to justify their own place with Him in eternity..
(Matthew 7:22-23) "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? {23} And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

According to the biblical farytale, a person is "saved" if God wants that person to be saved. You don't have to be squeaky-clean to be granted eternal life. You just have to do what the God character commands you to do. That might involve killing lots of people, like Moses and his goons did when the the people worshipped the golden calf while Moses and God were chatting.
The Bible has lots of such stories. So, is it sinful to commit murder? Remember, Jesus won't return until a magic number of people have been killed for their faith. He demands it. Be sure to let us know when you engage in self-mutilation to keep from sinning. Jesus commands it.
We're not saved by works alone but we're not saved by faith alone either, it is a combination of both. As Paul said should we keep on sinning, God forbid. Jesus spoke of what he expects and that is to keep his commandments, and that is a part of our works.

@Diotrephes hello again,
You understanding of scripture is lacking so much. Be that as in may, and you just keep on doing exactly what you're doing.

We aren't saved by works but works tend to follow saving faith
