That is incorrect.
You are going to tell me what my view of salvation is without me having expressed it here?
Actually, a life of faith is not truly a life of faith if works of righteousness are not enjoined to that life. In each of the seven churches of Asia, Jesus reiterated these words to them, "I know thy works," followed by an observation of failure in works (except the church at Philadelphia) to whom he admonished them to repent. In each case, a consequence for not repenting of their imperfect works is cited.
A life of faith cannot be without works of righteousness if it is truly saving faith. Anyone that disparage this notion is not doing his/her listeners any good.
