Those who claim some sort of practical holiness/obedience to some set of laws is required for salvation, my only question is "how much"? 90% conformance? 99%? 100%?

Yeah, 100% conformance. And the only way we can achieve that is if Christ's 100% is applied to our account....imputed to us.

Not going to happen by our hand.

This is what I believe the Bible teaches. We are completely dependent upon God for our salvation...from start to finish. We do labor regarding our sanctification, however!!

Me too....
