You featured this "passage" here:

For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God Not of works, that no man may glory
[Ephesians 2:8-9]

We Catholics think this is more like a passage:

For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God Not of works, that no man may glory For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them
[Ephesians 2:8-10]

Once we are saved which in this context means justified, we still have to do the good works God has prepared that we should walk in them.

That in turn is how we "work out our salvation" (as in staying justified and finally getting to Heaven), so it's not irrelevant for our eternal glory:

Wherefore, my dearly beloved, (as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but much more now in my absence,) with fear and trembling work out your salvation For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will
[Philippians 2:12-13]

In other words, the merits are meritorious, because they are God's work in us. But they are still good works which we have to do, so, we actually have something to look forward to as from our merit.
