But you were associating faith with righteousness.
Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Well, amen to that. However, as Romans 4:5 explicitly says, believing is not working.
There is more than one kind of faith in Scripture. Romans 4 plainly teaches that the faith of mere belief is not work. "To him that worketh not,
but believeth on him." Calvinism wants to turn belief into a work, but the Bible plainly says it is not.
