Is this SALVATION earned by our good works?
Not at all!

Titus 3:4-7 "But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.

He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life."

The "washing of rebirth" is our baptism and the renewal brought on by the Holy Spirit. Baptism is not a good deed or a good work that earns us anything including our SALVATION.
