Yeah. Salvation by any means other than by faith alone.

James a total fraud. Didn't believe in Christ's divinity until after his death and resurrection despite being his "bro" James is a legalistic loser

Dude totally wow. Sounds like the first 1500 years of Christianity were like way wrong but I'm glad you're here to set the record straight.

(I am asking in earnest) can you explain it like I'm 5 by telling me something a legalist would say leads to salvation?

Like would they say "you won't be saved unless you donate 100k to the church" or is it more like "You won't be saved because you had sex before marriage"?

I tried to look it up before asking but I still don't think I understand.

Not really, I'm a simpleton, all i know is God knows our heart and the heart determines. If that helps idk.
