Universalism = Salvation by works?

To their credit, most universalists would say that they abhore salvation by works. The thought of someone earning their way to salvation is disdainful to them. And for those reasons, I enjoy fellowshiping with universalists. I wish that more Christians were as steadfast in those two declarations. But, could works-based-salvation sneak into the window or around the back-door for universalists as it has for so many other philosophies?

My flesh is terribly prone to the sick flattery of works-salvation. I'm probably so sensitve to it because I am so afraid of getting trapped back into it. At the risk of sounding hyper-critical, I'm going ahead and expressing one of the things about universalism, as a philosophy, that gives me great pause.

Does universalism (like other teachings) make room for salvation by works?
