Protestants should be careful not to direct contradict what the bible teaches. The words "Faith Alone", these two words together are found in no other place in the bible (both old and new) except in James 2:24. Where this premise is declared false by the the word of Holy God. To be more precise, we should say faith saves us. Furthermore, works does have an effect on our salvation - the scriptures clearly tell us that doing evil (murder, rape, adultery, idolatry, etc) will send us to hell. If one say works plays no part in one's salvation is to denied this truth.

Can a person be saved without works? If works must be part of salvation, then those who repent and believe on their death bed, cannot be saved!
@@williamchairo8407 Last I check, repent and believe are verbs and hence they are works. They are something you do.
