On the particular theological branch that bites the sovereignty-of-god bullet, I’ve heard this explained as an acausal relationship between faith and works (although, not it those words) - god chooses the people he wants to save and they turn out to have faith and do good works. So good works are evidence of saving faith, but have no causal influence on salvation.
