well put, I agree. and I have also always liked the Philip/eunic passage from Acts. To me confession and repentance is something I do, not just because of Church tradition but it is me reminding myself and admitting to myself and God what I have done wrong or failed to do that is right.

But you are correct, there is nothing I can do to save myself.
