The bolded is only partly correct. The Gospel is not the book of Acts, but the book of Acts is the response to the Gospel; so Acts does have something to do with the Gospel. The response to the Gospel is described through the Acts of the Apostles. It's not that it means works and works has nothing to do with salvation. Acts is the actions which the Apostles did in response to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It's a historical record of the events of the early church.
