Gracious assistance via prevenient grace doesn't get Mormonism off the hook for being a system that requires one prove their own personal moral worthiness as a prerequisite for receiving eternal life.
Also, notice that one of my quotes was from the very last General Conference.
But hey, quoting Mormon leaders to Mormons can be pretty offensive :-)

You've oversimplified it as usual, but your perspective can be made look silly as well. Jeez, just believe and you're saved. That sounds stupid. Whatever the roles of grace and works in the hereafter, I'm certain God desires people to work and to good things. What actually mechanics gest us there is probably irrelevant. Mormons are industrious. Can you say that of evangelicals? That's not the reputation of evangelicals.
