I bet you already have some good answers with so many posts, but since my extended family on my mother's side attends Church of Christ, and I did many hundreds of times all through youth when visiting my Grandparents every summer (even some in early 20s too), I thought perhaps I should add a bit on that part. One thing I knew instinctively even by about age 13 or so, already, was that this idea: "the "one" true "church of Christ" is certainly and entirely wrong. Christ's church is what
He chooses, the Church of all who believe in Him we understand from the gospel. No particular flavor of church has a monopoly.
Instead Christ is the One Who has the monopoly.
Just telling you what you already know as an encouragement.
Faith and works explained correctly is not Faith vs Works, nor Faith without works, nor Works necessary (for justification).
None of the above.
It's even better than any of these. Not simply something like Faith and Works go hand in hand (though I like that wording, there is more to learn on it than only that).
I found the R. C. Sproul lecture series on the reformation very very good at addressing this basic issue of the correct understanding of faith and works, and in particular this one (number #9 of 10 in the series), about 22 minutes, free if you have Amazon Prime:
9. Protestant View of Justification: Here. Scroll down to video #9

By minute 3 Sproul is getting into the key equation if you like, which is a very helpful way of explaining it. (but I suggest watch all the way through, Sproul is that good) Ask me if you don't have Amazon Prime and I'll summarize briefly.
