I know that the Eastern Orthodox believe in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and they do belief one is saved by grace through faith and they are Trinitarian. However, your second question does appear to me loaded with a type of interpretation from some p***ages from St. Paul that does not accept interpretations from other p***ages say from St. James and others where there necessitates works coming out of that grace recieved. The works do not provide salvation, they are an indicator to building one's character in the image of God we are to live. Even St. Paul continues on in Ephesians 2 and states, "For we are his workmanship, created for good works in Christ." You cannot expect doing works of evil and ***ume your "faith," trust in, God is going to give you a free ride for a cheap grace used to be a dirty welcoming mat, a spit in God's figurative face while saying you love him in word but in action anything but. It is probably a semantical thing, for I think if you understand the proper relation that works has in relation to grace and faith, we are not far from each other.
