Mormons believe that salvation comes through faith in Christ and repentence of sins. Faith in Christ (an active trust that leads to action) leads to repentence (a general turning away from a life of sin to following Christ).
At baptism, Mormons make a covenant. They symbolically pledge their willingness to begin a new life of following Jesus Christ. The scriptures liken this to a marriage where Christ is the bride groom or husband and the church is the bride or wife. As a faithful but not perfect wife, members of the church strive to follow Christ and keep his commandements. As long as we do not reject the covenant, Christ provides, protects and saves us.
As we are faithful, our faith and trust that Christ will save us becomes unshakeable.

Do Mormons believe in being saved by grce?
Yes. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that salvation is only through the grace of Jesus Christ. This is very plainly written in the Bible and the Book of Mormon, both of which Mormons believe are the word of God. In addition to the many Biblical passages which tell us salvation comes through grace, The Book of Mormon echoes the doctrine of salvation through grace repeatedly: "Ye are sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ." -Moroni 10:33 "Redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace." -2 Nephi 2:6 "We know that it is by grace we are saved." - 2 Nephi 25:23 "It is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved." - 2 Nephi 10:24 "No flesh can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah." - 2 Nephi 2:8 The Book of Mormon also discusses how works do not qualify us for or 'buy' our salvation, but instead serves as a way to demonstrate and strengthen our faith in the power and mercy (grace) of God. This is often a topic of misunderstanding between Mormons and other Christians. Rather than go into detail here, if you'd like to learn more about what Mormons believe about grace and salvation, I would highly recommend you look up the talks "His Grace is Sufficient" by Brad Wilcox and "In the Strength of the Lord" by David A. Bednar at speeches.byu.edu. They do a wonderful job of explaining the doctrine of grace as interpreted by Mormons.

They do not live on compunds, etc.) -Mormons worship Joseph Smith (Mormons believe Joseph Smith was a prophet, just like Moses or Abraham, not a god to be worshipped) -Mormons kidnap, brainwash, coerce, etc (Mormons wish everyone to make their own decisions, and define their standards by Scripture) Those who have different opinions and say things that are offensive to Mormons often say: -Mormons are not Christian (Mormons are not traditional Protestant Christians, but they do still believe in the Bible and salvation through Jesus Christ.) -Mormons are lying (Mormons honestly believe they are telling the truth) -Mormonism is a pyramid scheme (Mormons believe in paying a Tithe and in missions work to gain converts, but believe this is Biblically based and do not seek converts for monetary gain) -Mormons are unbiblical (Mormons believe that they are following the Bible very strictly, but the Bible can be interpreted differently by different people) -Mormonism is false (this is obviously just an opinion, but one that is often offensive to those who honestly believe)

Do Mormons believe that John chapter 3 verse 16 is sufficient for salvation?
Mormons believe that God loved the world and gave His only Son, Jesus Christ to atone for the sins of the world. It is through that blood that men are saved. No amount of works done could be sufficient to save a man were it not for the atonement of Christ, as is told by Christ when denouncing those who thought the Law of Moses to be sufficient. However, Mormons do not believe in "once saved always saved" or the idea that believing in Christ will save them for all eternity. Mormons believe that it is by grace men are saved, after all they can do. True faith in Christ includes following his commandments and enduring till the end. Those who love Christ are saved by His atoning blood, and as stated by Christ "If ye love me, keep my commandments." There is quite a difference between "salvation" and "exaltation".
