I see. You have nothing but a feeble attempt to distract from the facts.
To use your words, "Well, you are certainly being evasive." Is that
a consequence of resting on a misinterpretation and having no scriptural facts to make your case?
Again, this really simple because words have meaning. For example, the Savior saves. Grace excludes works, Romans 4:4, etc.
The Apostle explicitly connected the dots in this regard in 1 Thessalonians 5.
"1 Thessalonians 5:9-18 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, in order that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing. And we request of you, brothers, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and instruct you, and to regard them beyond all measure in love, because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. Now we exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the discouraged, be supportive of the weak, be patient toward all. See that no one pays back evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue that which is good, both for one another and for all. Rejoice always! Pray without ceasing! In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." -EMTV
