I said that with reference to your view that a justified person can lose their justification.
I'm saying a person is justified by faith alone and not by works. If this is true, then nothing can separate a person once justified from the love of God in Christ (Rom.8:38-39). Not even disobedience. And that should move a person to far greater obedience than Rome's carnal theology ever could. That is the biblical gospel, and there is no other.
Faith is a grace, the work of God, not of man. The grace of faith *rests* on Christ for perfect righteousness and full payment of sin as the only ground of justification.
So yes, anything a person does for justification is not faith but rather a dead work (Gal.2:16).
According to your theology, that would include your whole life as a Roman. I hope it isn't true, but it seems very likely. You should repent.
