==== Protestant Christianity ====
In [[Protestant]] Christianity there is no one standard, but most denominations were started with the understanding that salvation comes from belief in [[Jesus]] and acceptance of Him as a "personal Lord and Savior".  This doctrine is know as [[Sola fide]]. [[Luther]] summed it up as salvation by faith alone.  Much of Protestant and Catholic views can overlap with Catholics emphasizing good works  and Protestants emphasizing a relationship with Jesus - which then shows its 'fruits' through good works, although purgatory is usually not a concept that Protestant churches follow.  [[Anglicans]], who have a theology and church practice similar to Catholics, take a view very close to the view taken by Catholicism.  Some Protestants, such as [[Calvinists]], believe that salvation is [[predestiny|pre-destined]] by God.  Those He has chosen will follow Him.  Still others are universalist and hope that eventually everyone will enter heaven (although some of purging of sins may be necessary).
