1. Roman Catholics do not believe that you are saved and then produce fruit, but that faith and works are both required, as well as maintaining standing at the time of death, in order to be saved. 2. Those who are saved by faith *do* produce fruit (with the help of the Spirit) out of pure love and gratefulness to their Lord. 3. Believers *do* want to display the glory of God to the world, and *do* demonstrate to the world their obedience as instrumental means of God.

Yeah, faith and work is both required, but no moralism or any compensation for work is really in Catholic doctrine. You are saved, you are a son of God, Christ is true human, true god and the sacrifice that already saved you the moment you accept it. At this point, you will produce fruit, you have the opportunity to live a saint life, loving what God has planned for you. The only "hard-work-required" is abandon the ego plans and have faith in God, all the rest is derived from this act. And when you have faith in God, you feel already loved and already saved. You gain eternity and paradise by loving, in your interest to live a good life in the earth that has already in it the portals to eternity. God ask you to save you hoping you will be able to accept salvation, he doesnt "need" nothing from you, he want to save you a give you the Truth and real peace. There's nothing you can "do" to be in a "better position", you are already saved everytime ypu choose to accept and glorify Christ in your heart; actions are impirtant, our life is made of actions, but them are conseguences and opportunity to love. Every Sunday we say in church "God don't mind about our sins, but see the faith of your Church" (dont know exactly how is spelled in english, I'm Italian). So God please dont mind about our actions, but our faith. Actions are important, but faith is the benchmark; all Jesus friend in the bible, Saulo, Peter... are saved cause their faith and then they have the joy to take actions. All the people Saulo killed dont define it. This is essential to Christianity, if any salvation would derive from good actions it then became a moralism and humans became gods in their hybris to understand gods plan.

and then I agree with all your points, I 100% agree with .2 abd .3. But the starting point is important. A Catholic is saved by His grace, ALL the rest, that is also important, derive by that.

Then I dont know what Catholic you encountered, but this is my experience with Catholic church in Italy, this is what I understand, they told me I'm a Son of God, they loved me as Christ would have done, I laughed of them initially. I now can and want act as a Christian only for the joy of love, cause I being loved, only beacuse I accepted it. Only because is the best, the paradise already here, love how Christ would love, try to do my best. On youtube there are a lot of speech of Don Fabio Rosini, they are in Italian, he is the father converted me to Christianity and Catholicism. I absolutely advice to hear him if you can 🙏
