What exactly visibly differentiates good works as a Christian (in salvation) from good works as a non-Christian (outside of salvation)?
They're all good works. If you have faith in Christ you will do good works. Works can happen apart from faith, but faith cannot exist apart from works.
How then does one identify the fruits of salvation as opposed to just good works? I sort of remember Jesus saying in the Gospels that you shall know them by their fruits.
