Sure.

My point is that faith is still something you need to cultivate, and that's what leads to salvation. According to Protestants, Joe Blow who has never heard about Jesus isn't saved because he hasn't attained the faith needed to receive that grace. Maybe you don't need a baptismal service or other ritual to be saved, but you do need faith.

If grace truly was all that was needed, what's the point of these churches existing, and who doesn't get salvation? Protestants certainly have a concept of hell, so there's certainly something you need to do to avoid it (believe in Jesus and that he has saved you).
