Can you help me with this salvation discussion?

[chrp2]

Good afternoon,

A Protestant friend and I were talking about Salvation. He believes once saved always saved; quoting, unless we are born again we will not see the Kingdom of Heaven (John 3:3). Additionally, he believes to be born again we just have to accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. Why do we then need the Ten Commandments? As a Catholic I believe Baptism and Works save us. It concluded a stalemate, but I am not finished. Can you help me?

Bob
