No one is able to keep the Law, so no one can be justified by the Law, or by works. John 6:29 shows us that belief in Christ is the only required "work". Here are a few passages to support the doctrine of Sola Fide:
Romans 3:19-31, Romans chapter 4; Romans 10:9-13
Galatians 2:11-21; Galatians 3:6-4:11
Ephesians 2:8-9
Titus 3:5-7
I am interested in your "take" on those passages.
what makes a church/group become a Cult?

Again, you are not saying what you believe these passages mean. One of the most basic rules of interpreting Scripture is to take it at it's basic meaning - i.e., the plain meaning of the text. You cannot make an argument from what a passage does not say. You have to go with what it does say. Each of those Scriptures very plainly states that we are saved by our faith in Christ. Technically, it's not our faith that actually saves us, but Christ, in Whom we place our faith. You are trying to put the proverbial cart before the horse. That would be akin to saying that if you committed a sin and died before repenting of it, you have lost your salvation. You have argued earlier that @AustinC has misused the Scripture, but you never explained how. The Scriptures, inspired by Almighty God, cannot contradict itself. I strongly urge you to prayerfully study Romans chapters 3 & 4.

All that said, cults also deny orthodox Christians teachings. -

Luke 2 is Peter preaching and men wanting to know what they should do to be saved. Peter tells them two more things they need which is repentance and Baptism.Repentance means to turn or change your direction. Natural men are on the road to hell. To be saved they have to change to the narrow path. The straight and narrow is the only way. Solo fide is a term I'm not familiar with. There are three things men need to be saved. Faith repentance, and baptism. There is nothing solo about it.

Five Latin phrases came out of the Protestant Reformation that summarize the Reformers theological convictions. They are:
Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone) - The Bible alone is our highest authority.
Sola Fide (Faith Alone) - We are saved through faith alone in Christ Jesus.
Sola Gratia (Grace Alone) - We are saved through the grace of God alone.
Solus Christus (Christ Alone) - Jesus Christ alone is our Lord, Savior, and King.
Soli Deo Gloria (To the Glory of God Alone) - We live for the glory of God alone. -
