A common objection is that with the arisal of the tenet of Salvation by Grace as mentioned by kubrickian is that it does away with the requirement of good works, and therefore those who do holy works are saved along with those who do sin. The argument against this objection is that grace requires good works, which originate from grace and strengthen the heart:.

Supposedly, works are good when you do them because of love for god, and therefore only someone who has a deep love for Him can do them, when they are done with god as the focal point of action, and when they visibly show that god's will is the only thing behind them.

Good works are supposedly imperfect by definition, and there is no getting around that. However, they are still rewarded because of the grace behind them.
