And the Orthodox Church just keeps on growing.
False religion that espouses works based salvation. Orthodox and Catholics are both going to hell for rejecting the free gift of salvation from Jesus Christ.

Evangelical claptrap.

Lol nope. Not even close buddy. Luke 23:42, how did the thief on the cross get saved? What did he do in order to get saved? Did he get baptized, lead a good life, perform many good deeds OR was he only justified by his faith in Jesus?
Orthodoxy/Catholicism are false religions that have perverted the Word of God to serve satan.
Meh. Christianity gives us a lot of reasons to be good humans. Satan is assuredly working hard to destroy the church from within.
You mistakenly separate works from faith. In reality, both are one and the same. We do good works because Christ did good works and told us to do good works; and we have faith in Christ. We do what he says because we have faith in him. He says to do good works, so we do. Amongst other things of course, but it is one of the most important things to do.

False. Salvation is by faith alone. And once saved, always saved. God will punish us for our sins in this life, if you are saved Christian. If you are a Orthodox/Catholic/Hindu/Muslim you will end up in Hell for believing in a false gospel.
Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Matthew 7:22 - 23
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
You're not defining what faith looks like. Simply believing isn't faith, for the demons believe too, and they tremble. Faith is believing, but also obedience. One of the things he tells us to do is good works, so we do those, but what do good works look like? Evangelizing is one such good work. Feeding the poor is another. Ultimately, it is to live a Christ like life. To do as he would do. Those are good works. It is why the rich man was cast into the pit of fire, for he did nothing to help those in need; and in the parable, specifically Lazarus. The rich man believed in God and didn't do anything wrong in his life, but he didn't do anything good either. Being good requires doing. It requires action. Just as being bad requires action. If one doesn't do anything, you are neither bad, nor good. You are neutral, and in the end only the good make it into the kingdom.
