Francis Turretin (1623-87) on the necessity of good works as they relate to justification:

And here is Turretin on the necessity of good works as they relate to our final glorification:

So to summarize: good works are the effect of justification (not the cause) and the means to the end of glorification. And for the record, when Turretin speaks of “good works” he means that which is (1) done from faith, (2) according to the will of God in Scripture, (3) from the heart), and (4) for the glory of God (2.706).
