Whereas Luther preached that man was saved by his faith alone, Catholics teach that it is by faith and good works. We are justified by our faith that Jesus has saved us by his death on the cross but we are saved by our good works. As St. James says in his epistle, "Faith without good works is dead." This is reinforced by Jesus in chapter 25 of the gospel of St. Matthew which describes the final judgement.
