>As Tolstoy sarcastically observed about Church Orthodoxy, “if a man can be saved by the redemption, by sacraments, and by prayer, then he does not need “good works.”
People confuse Good Works with Salvation because they think of it in reverse order. Satan wants us to think backwards.
We are NOT saved by our Good Works.
We strive to do good because we are saved, and are filled with the Holy Spirit of God.
So why is it that some people seem to be good or do good works even if they aren't Christians?
Because God allows it.
Satan would rather that all of Humanity was pure evil all of the time.
