Why does God save sinners by faith without works?

Answered in 1 source

God saves sinners by faith alone to ensure that no one can boast and that salvation is entirely by grace.

God’s choice to save sinners by faith without the inclusion of works underscores the essence of grace in salvation. Romans 4:14 asserts that if inheritance were based on the law, faith would be made void. The emphasis is on God's glory, ensuring that no human can achieve righteousness through their actions. Salvation must remain a gift that cannot be earned; as Romans 3:23 notes, 'For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.' Thus, salvation is freely bestowed through faith, ensuring that credit is solely attributed to God’s merciful grace.
