It's good Protestant theology [0].
Which is odd, given the religious affiliations of Chris, Wolfe, and
most Mafiosi.

[0] Yes, yes, I realize that I'm being reductionist to the point of
inaccuracy as well as awfully snarky, but honestly, that bit in James
about faith without works being dead *is* one of the bits that
Protestants prefer to ignore in favor of the bit from Ephesians about
grace being a gift that no works can attain. Slap that into a sermon
with John 3:16 and you can make a case that faith alone--irrespective
of works--is sufficient. Which I am sure is a great comfort to those
who prey with delight on their fellow men but go to bed secure in the
knowledge that they are the Elect.
