because people mix up salvation with sanctification
one gets you into Heaven
the other is cleaning up your life AFTER you have been saved
we are not dismissing good works, it's simply that they has nothing to do with salvation which the Bible COULD NOT be any more clear on

This is a circular argument, because it goes back to
>faith without works is dead
Faith is required for salvation, and works attest to ones faith. Without works, ones faith is dead. Without faith, salvation is impossible. See how they all work hand in hand?

is salvation a process or does it happen in an instant?

Not at all relevant to the discussion at hand. The fact is, is that works are crucial to receiving salvation, and through salvation; God's kingdom.

>works are crucial to receiving salvation

30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

This. 
The faith itself is a gift from God. You have to understand this. We are chosen because we searched for God with all our heart and are lovers of the truth. If you dont even consider it to be true at all then dont wonder later. Also if you believe you or anyone is good enough to enter heaven then you dont understand how holy God is and that he will never let anything evil enter. Jesus blood cleansed us of our sins and that is what makes us righteous in Gods eyes, nothing more, nothing less.
