On the Sunday of the Last Judgment, Abp. Irineos discusses the Gospel account of the Last Judgment and compares it to the conceptions of salvation prevalent in western "Christianity."  He reminds the faithful that it is impossible to separate our faith from the works of mercy, love and compassion that bear witness to the flowering of that faith.  In the judgment, the scales are not weighing out the quantity of our works to see if we meet some standard to enter heaven.  Rather, our deeds are testifying to whether or not we had faith in Christ.  The separation of works from any role in salvation is unbiblical, but it is also incredibly dangerous to the salvation of those who understand faith alone to represent a singular or assured moment of salvation.
