Here's a statement:

If (you do good works) then (you will be saved.)

It's inverse is:

If (you do evil works) then (you will be damned.)

That's the semantic inverse. Wouldn't the logical inverse be

If (you do not do good works) then (you will not be saved.)

True, mostly. But in my system, there are 1. no neutral works
and 2. only two final resting places. So for me, both
sentences say the same thing.

Ooo, so how about infants? (This is one of the things about which we like to badger Tony :) They lack works of any sort...

Hey, waitaminute! You don't believe salvation-via-works!

Ok, ok -- so folks only go to either heaven or hell, and that's not determined by their works. But if it WERE determined by their works, there's still the "hasn't done any works, good or bad", thing. It's not that they did works that were "nuetral", it's that their works-count is zero.
