Mormon view of 'saved by grace': Jesus earns your resurrection (basic bodily resurrection), but full salvation requires burning off sin and earning one's way upward.

Why Mormons and Christians Can't Understand Each Other 00:24:42 – 00:25:43

The Mormon concept of grace is limited to resurrection — much less than what Christians mean by grace.

In Mormon soteriology, what Jesus provides is universal bodily resurrection. Beyond that, one must work off sins (potentially in a temporary hell) and earn progression through the kingdoms. Full salvation ('exaltation') is an extremely difficult, works-based achievement. Grace does not cover the whole scope of what Christians call salvation.
