Thank you, Garee.

Either Christ does all the work of salvation, or He does none.

So yes, by the exclusive " grace of God"...  amen.
And why did He pick you?
one who is in open rebellion to doing what He commanded.

And what do others need to do, that God might select them?
as [you claim] He has selected you.

For many are called, but few are chosen.
Matthew 22:14
Its boasting in works we can do that makes the fullness of the Grace of God to "no effect"
You are boasting you are justified in the law, without even doing the works.
Aren't you.

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law;
ye are fallen from grace.
Galations 5:4
We are either saved entirely by His Grace alone or we are still considered dead in ourtresspasses and sins.The idea of limbo, someplace between, is a doctrine of men that has been reformed.
I had to receive His word, and do it,
before the LORD would declare me a son.

It is a statute for ever.

And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the children of Israel:
for it is an heave offering:
and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings,
even their heave offering unto the LORD.

Exodus 29:28
For by "grace" are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.Ephesians 2:8-9
The LORD also told me,
it is not grace to declare you are saved, without doing the things He said, as He said.
And that it is even wickedness.

Because if any believe in you,
you will have turned them away from Him, and doing the things He commanded.

Circumcision is nothing,
and uncircumcision is nothing,
but the keeping of the commandments of God.

1 Corinthians 7:19

Since you arelooking for a work we can do what kind of works might that be Paul?
Making the ark, and the candlestick, according to the pattern shown to Moses.

I've shown you His words many times,
yet you still do not retain them.

And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof,
unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work:
according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses,
so he made the candlestick.

Numbers 8:4
Remember  the works required to pay the full wage of sin which is eternal in nature, which by and through Christ, alone any man may enter heaven as white as snow without spot or blemish.
Jesus says to remember His words,
and the law of His faithful servant Moses.

For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed Me:
for he wrote of Me.
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?

John 5:46-47
Did making Christ the object of sin for us provide enough grace that we could be made the righteousness of God ?
You fall to asking foolish questions,
instead of teaching His works.

But then, what else can we expect from you,
if you yourself do them not.

Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, 
and repent, and do the first works;
or else I will come unto thee quickly,
and will remove thy candlestick out of his place,
except thou repent.

Revelation 5:2

 Or did that mutual work of the Father and Son fall short of the glory of God, and we need another kind of righteousness which is of ourselves in order to make us as white as snow without spot or blemis?
No.
God's word is perfect.

Your preach is to convince us you are graceful.
But those that do the law are in the kingdom, as His word says,
and they teach His commandments.

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest.
And he said to me,
These are they which came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes,
and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Revelation 7:14
2 Corinthians 5:21For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
A second saying from St Paul.

Keep Jesus' sayings, Garee.
St Paul is not saying, don't do all that the LORD said, like you do.

If ye love Me, keep My commandments.
John 14:15

I believe, the Catholics , like yourself conclude Christ's sacrifice fell short of full "eternal" payment of sin which could make us white as snow without spot or blemish and therefore have added purgatory to make up for what they say Christ has not finished, and therefore purgatory is the place where men can make themselves white as snow. 
The blood of Jesus' sacrifice can be found in the first five books of the Bible.

The rest of the Bible tells us that.

Thou shalt not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread;
neither shall the fat of My sacrifice remain until the morning.

Exodus 23:18
And you believe keeping ceremonial laws is your purgatory. Where does scripture inform us in regard to keeping a ceremonial law can work at making us clean enough to enter the new heavens and earth?
Believing that NOT doing God's will, but believing as Christians say to,
still gets you into heaven, is a fallacy of the Christians,
I believe.

They made that up to justify why they don't do the law, 
nor teach it,
as the word in their Bible tells them to.

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo,
I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Matthew 28:20

Does performing one of your Sabbath walks abouts reduce the eternal wage of your sin in someway shape or form that in the end could make your soul, as white as snow without spot or blemish?
No.

It lifts up the Son of man,
and then He does His works in me.

If you did them, as God's word says to, you'd know.
Your understanding wouldn't be dead.

Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink,
or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

Colossians2:16
And in doing so you will be found with a righteousness of your own?
If Jesus doesn't appear to me,
then I know I haven't done the commandment to His satisfaction.
And then I know I am not justified in His sight.

If the LORD appears, then I be justified.
Then I know I have made the sabbath to His satisfaction.

For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness;
His countenance doth behold the upright.

Psalm 11:7

You didn't even have to believe the person who told you that saying you now offer us, Garee?



?????

Well...
Who told you the things you tell us?

Because they aren't God's words.
You can only find a scant few sayings of St Paul, which [you suppose] supports your gospel.
When really, you aught to have received Jesus' gospel.

Then you would testify to us of the kingdom.

Bless Jesus Heart Throb
Keep and teach what He said
`Paul

I charge thee therefore 
before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, 
who shall judge the quick and the dead 
at His appearing and His kingdom;
Preach the word; 
be instant in season, out of season; 
reprove, 
rebuke, 
exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2 Timothy 4:1-2
