text: >Protestants tend to think of that as a single thing (faith which works through love) and Orthodox think of it as two things (faith and works). It seems to me that it is Protestantism which separates faith and works into two things. Before the Reformation, I don't think the distinction "faith" on the one hand and "works" on the other would have made much sense to ordinary Christian people. There was simply the life of Christian discipleship.
