(I'm not saying that's what she was thinking. I understand you are going to say that I am reading into what she said again. But again, it reads that way to ME. I guess we're all entitled to our opinions)

I said pretty much the same thing in another post. Using our own works to get favor from God isn't Biblical in any way.
There aren't varying levels of Christians. Either you are one or you aren't. Either you are a child of God or you aren't.
