Not necessarily.
Just because faith starts it that does not mean it's not salvation by works. What is the nature of the faith and what is the faith directed toward in your mind?

If "Love is 9/10ths" has some connection with law to you--and is thus nullified or something?

As far what saves, yes!

is that what you were saying?--and the Good Samaritan is lost, despite "Go, and do likewise,"

I never said the GS was lost. I am just saying what Jesus said about the good samaritan has nothing to do with what saves us. If the GS was saved, it was not because of the good he did. And anyone who does that same good may not be saved at all.

I am trying to resolve the impasse. What in your mind remits sins and makes us righteous? You're not answering that and I 've asked it more than twice.
