Then either they were wrong or you misunderstood. Faith is in fact essential. Faith should be demonstrable by its product but the product alone is meaningless. There is only one route to salvation in what is widely regarded as Christianity and that route is via Jesus.
Are you a Methodist? It's Methodist doctrine we're talking about.
Welcome, Christian. I appreciate your courtesy and cool head. I hope you find your stay here educational.
