Lutheran, Zwinglian, Calvinist, Mennonite, etc, which Reformed do you consider mindless?

If they mindlessly, thoughtlessly, parrot the theology, yes, absolutely.

27 And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you; concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him. 1 Jn 2

1 Corinthians 15:1-8

Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.

??? What's your point?

It's you 'faith alone' people who have added to the gospel that have excluded works from our justification.

You realize that both faith and the works are evidential-yet-necessary, right?

What do you think that means?

Technically, I agree with you, Kentucky...
Faith without accompanying works, is a dead faith.

But if you look carefully, Five solae - Wikipedia

The Sola of "Faith Alone" ( "Sola Fide" ) doesn't declare that faith is all that is necessary...
It also declares that the accompanying works are necessary-but-evidential.

As I see it, "Sola Fide" was a response to the Roman Catholic church's teaching that our works are what gains a person favor with God;
Instead of them being a reflection of already having God's favor.

One can be saved without and apart from good works, correct?

 

[kyredneck]

It also declares that the accompanying works are necessary

"Accompanying works are necessary". Hmm. Justification by faith alone still requires works.

Besides the fact that the manmade sola 'justification by faith alone' is not to be found in the scriptures 'you people' don't really really believe justification by faith alone, "accompanying works are necessary". Why on earth would you keep declaring it?
