No offense taken. I know I'm completely and totally saved.
You'll have to get past vague cliches like this to understand the role of 'you' in salvation.
I know that the center of your misunderstanding is this matter of 'believing' and who does it for you.
Trust me, if God did your believing for you, he'd do a much better job than you or I have done at it.
God gave us the faith to believe. He provided what we needed so that we can trust him.
That's not a works gospel. Paul clearly puts 'believing/trusting' on the opposite side of the works that can not justify.
