I agreed with most of this, except the part where he wrote:
"So don't let any Catholic fool you into believing that you must have good works to go to Heaven, you don't." and
"However, this doesn't mean conclusively that a professed Christian without any good works is not saved."
Fact is, it is impossible to be a Christian without doing good works. That is what apostle James was trying to tell us. Although Lot and David sinned at some points in their lives, they still had good works they did. They regretted and repented from their sins and continued in good works.
Conclusion. You cant be a Christian and continue in sin. But in case you fall, ask God for forgiveness and continue the race.
◄ 1 John 3:9
"Those who are children of God do not continue to sin, for God's very nature is in them; and because God is their Father, they cannot continue to sin."
