Question: what is the relationship between faith and salvation?
Answer: As Ephesians 2:8–9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. It is not from yourself or anything you've done, but the gift of God.” Salvation, therefore, is a free gift of grace from God. ... Protestants see the act of praying the sinner's prayer as the trigger that brings salvation into a person's life.
