I was curious and wondering for many years why did many Protestants condemn and disagree about good works especially done by other religions or same religion or
even with same Church of the Protestant Christian.
i.e. They may condemn over doing charity works to poor children or old folks but rather spend time gossiping.
Finally I guess I had found the answer. Most of them don't even know who is Martin Luther (The founder of Protestant) after half century in the Church
I guess what Martin meant about the good works refer to the fraud certification of salvation and "not" about the pure charity good works. In other word, you can buy the certificate of salvation.
I did quite a volunteering job recently, it doesn't mean I m a good person but I learnt a lot thru them especially how to manage the crisis and difficult time where school never teach.
Agreed? Share your thoughts?

The recipient of an indulgence must perform an action to receive it. This is most often the saying (once, or many times) of a specified prayer, but may also include a pilgrimage, the visiting of a particular place (such as a shrine, church or cemetery) or the performance of specific good works.[3]
