then I agree .... if you are saying that the work, in it of itself, saves me?

I will say it like this...
Faith WILL result in works. Real faith is going to bring action. There are just certain things that faith is going to do, in proper response to the Bible.
I'll put it another way...
When you birth a lion, unless you deprive it of its normal environment, it is going to act a certain way. If it does not, it is not a real lion. If you deprive it for years of its natural habitat, it will revert to its instinct when given half a chance.
The same is true of the Christian. If they are really transformed, certain things are going to happen. If you deprive them of their supernatural atmosphere as a Christian, their soul is going to seek out that which they are designed for. It will happen...else their faith is dead...or WILL DIE might be another subject to discuss.
