I can&#039;t tell if you are LDS or not, so I hope my clarification makes sense if I assume you are not. Mormons believe that NOTHING can happen without grace, since we cannot possibly do enough good works to qualify for heaven and through Christ&#039;s atonement, God must take us the rest of the way. Also, we don&#039;t think we can accomplish much good on a daily basis without God&#039;s grace to help us.

We see a difference between &quot;salvation&quot; and &quot;exaltation,&quot; although we sometimes use the word &quot;salvation&quot; when we really mean &quot;exaltation.&quot;
We acknowledge many kinds of salvation and talk about physical death and spiritual death. Christ&#039;s atonement saves us all from physical death, since we will all (good and evil) be resurrected and live forever. Spiritual death is our separation from God. In heaven there are many mansions, but only the highest kingdom of heaven enjoys the full presence of God. His presence diminishes the farther down you go in the kingdoms of heaven. Exaltation is to enjoy His full presence. We believe most people will be saved into some kingdom of heaven, even those who reject the Savior, although they will have to suffer for their own sins, because they have rejected the atonement. Exaltation, however, is conditional and requires partaking of and remaining devoted to the covenants and ordinances of the gospel.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[From: http://www.mormon.org/beliefs/plan-of-salvation

To make His Atonement fully effective in your life, you need to:
•Exercise faith in Him. 
•Repent. 
•Be baptized. 
•Receive the Holy Ghost. 
•Choose TO FOLLOW HIS TEACHINGS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. (WORKS)

From: http://mormonbeliefs.org/mormon_beliefs/mormon-beliefs-the-plan-of-salvation/what-is-salvation

God has said that the path to exaltation is narrow, “and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:14; 3 Nephi 14:14). IN ORDER TO (WORKS) return to God’s presence there are ordinances to enter into, and one MUST BE faithful to those covenants he or she has made with the Lord.  Ordinances must be performed by those with the proper authority and the power to act in God’s name.  Those who desire to return to the full presence of God enter into a process of purification that lasts a lifetime, as they seek to emulate the Savior Jesus Christ.

How does this contrast with:

Romans 11:6
6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise
grace would no longer be grace.]]></description>
