Good works, or deeds as I prefer to call it, is also required in my opinion. James says that faith without deeds is dead. The bible repeatedly says we will be judged on our deeds.

One “good works” a man (can choose to do) Before Salvation…
Is to Believe ( or not).

Other “good works” A man (can choose to do) Before Salvation IS:
Confess his belief (to the Lord) ( or not).
Be charitable.
Lend a helping hand to others.
Be a peace-maker.
Provide work opportunities for others.
Etc.

After Salvation (given)…
Men can start, continue, or not DO “good Works”

Doesn’t matter… Having Salvation (or NOT), every man… Per Judgement, shall be given “rewards for their “good works”.

Who shall “receive the Greatest “Rewards”?
1) The Saved man—-Gift of “Salvation”
2) The Saved man, WHO Gave God the “credit” for the mans ability TO DO “good works”—- Greatest “Rewards”

examples of “Greatest rewards”…
Crowns, bejeweled crowns, high position appointments ( in Gods kingdom ), high recognition, ( names engraved on stone for others to See ), etc.

Point… no one is Require to DO “good works”…
However… men who Do Good Works (receive rewards)… nothing to do with receiving Gift of Salvation.

And “works” ( of anyone )… that are “not good”…. Those works are burned.

Rewards for works, every man…
Jer. 32:19
Pss. 62:12
Matt. 16:27
Rom. 2:6
Rev. 2:6

You fully do not yet understand

I suppose I don't understand what your trying to teach.
I thought we were in agreement when you said that salvation occurs after death.
Seems not.

Salvation IS Given After Bodily Death…

Is Mortal Death…a Dead body?
Is Crucifixion Death…a Dead body?

Was your body crucified with Jesus' Body?
