If someone is upset about works even BELIEF is a work.
Look at the verse below.

John 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the
works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye
believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may
see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them
bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you
not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from
heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life
unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me
shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
