I got 3, but only because several of the questions represented artificial opposites.  Anyway, I was interested to learn that believing works contribute to salvation is anti-fundamentalist, and especially that psychiatry and psychology were especially contemptible things for fundamentalists.  Smiley

I know it's a basic principle of Protestant theology and so would figure pretty heavily into fundamentalist beliefs.  But, taking all of scripture into account, works seem pretty important.  On top of that, even though I'm no longer Catholic, I guess I was just never on board with the faith alone is sufficient for salvation idea, or the notion that faith automatically leads one to do good works.  All that said, I don't really have anything at stake in the debate anymore.  But some might be interested to know that I actually answered the question about doing things only for oneself and being obedient to God with the second option.  It's one of those artificially either-or question.  But, for as little as I believe in God, I believe in doing things only for oneself even less.

Scott, thanks for the clarification.  I do have a degree in Religious Studies and teach philosophy now, but, though I was raised Catholic, my specializations are in Indian and Chinese traditions.  My comparative ignorance of Western traditions, and sometimes of Christian thought too, does sometimes show.
