Pelagians (Pelagianism)

followers of Pelagius

Pelagius was a Christian heretic and a Romano-British monk. "Pelagians deny original sin, and regard man as by nature morally and spiritually well; semi-Pelagians regard him as morally sick" [Matthew G. Easton]. They believe that one can earn salvation through works, without the grace of God.
