Also this view casts the following Romans 8 quotes from Paul more in the "grace" category than the "works" one:
"What shall then separate us from the love of God?" and "Who then accuses us when God has chosen us for His own?"
Etc etc. Paul, even, could fail. God would not fail. God had chosen Paul and God's mercy endures forever.
