Gods choosing of me is what saves. His loving Grace and Mercy is what saves, and from this is given the ability to follow Him.
Rom 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Max,
So did you ever ask God to save you (to have mercy on you--a poor pitiful sinner)? If you did, was that a work?
Not trying to nit-pick. Just trying to understand your position.

Terri - one day, by the grace of God, through an act of God given faith, mine eyes were opened and I saw and believed without a shadow of a doubt that HE was the Lord God - King of the Universe - Master - and Savior.
The only prayer I praid before coming to this was a simple one - Lord, if you are out there and you are real, I want to know you, not of you. I gave no repentance to recieve salvation. Nothing I can or will do will ever be good enough for my salvation and to say that you must do this ACT (prayer the "sinners" prayer) to be saved is salvation by your efforts and thus salvation by works.
Secondly, I would add that MANY people have prayed the "sinners prayer" including one Larry Flynn publisher of Hustler Magazine. Praying a prayer does not make one saved.

Sorry , I don't think that's why we're saved either. I think the reason we have a sincere heart and a desire to serve the Lord is because we're saved, not a means to be saved.
God bless
