Interpretation is all up for grabs that is why it is totally a sound religion to devote everything too. /sarcasm

Like here:

In this view, "the rock" upon which Jesus would build his church could be understood as Peter's confession of faith in Jesus as the Messiah, rather than Peter himself. Jesus was emphasizing the importance of faith in him and his teachings as the foundation of the Christian community, rather than establishing a religion focused solely on worshiping him.

...And magnetaress I believe there can be fanatics. You have quite easily provided an example.

Justification by faith alone is dead

14 What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?

15 And if a brother or sister be naked, and want daily food:

16 And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?

17 So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

18 But some man will say: Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without works; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith.

19 Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble.

20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar?

22 Seest thou, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect?

23 And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God.

24 Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?

25 And in like manner also Rahab the harlot, was not she justified by works, receiving the messengers, and sending them out another way?

26 For even as the body without the spirit is dead; so also faith without works is dead.
