As @stunnedbygrace pointed out, you're coming off as the "bad guy" here.
A reader's take on the exchange between us. I know you're not a bad guy, but I see how others might view this.
That being said, I'm being forced into a Theistic Agnosticism, or even Theistic Atheism by the church.
A church that will not hear another view of these things. I believe in God, but not the "God" the church is proclaiming.
You are acting as a representative of the church, I don't fault you for that. Five years ago, I might have done the same thing.
So, how could I find fault with your loving attempts to correct me? I have nothing but respect and appreciation. (hugs)
I would say that salvation is based on the finished work of Christ on our behalf.
Nothing to do with us, ultimately.
Pretty sure I do. Let me try.
Our justification is based on the finished work of Christ on our behalf.
Sanctification is the process whereby we are set apart for God, to do His will and grow in Him.
How did I do?

Right. I agree.
What do you make of this?
Romans 2:14-16 NIV
(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

I've been daubed the bad guy on many occasions.
In this case, all because you fail to confirm the UR propaganda.
