Some Christian traditions reject the doctrine of sola fide (faith alone) and instead emphasize that works play a role in salvation. In passages like James 2:24, it is stated that “a person is justified by works and not by faith alone,” while other passages such as Ephesians 2:8–9 emphasize salvation by grace through faith, “not of works.” For those traditions that hold to a works-inclusive view of salvation: - What specific role do works play in salvation (e.g., justification, sanctification, or final salvation)? - Are works considered necessary conditions, evidence of genuine faith, or contributory causes of salvation? - How are these views reconciled with passages that seem to exclude works from salvation? I am particularly interested in answers grounded in the teachings of specific denominations or theological traditions (e.g., Catholic, Orthodox, etc.), rather than purely personal interpretations.
