Grace Alone vs Hyper-Grace: Where Do Repentance and Works Fit?

What truly separates Grace-Alone teaching from what critics call Hyper-Grace? I often see Grace-Alone preachers reject Hyper-Grace, yet both positions can appear to teach that salvation cannot be earned by human works or lost through sin. My question is whether this means repentance, obedience and turning away from evil still matter. If salvation is entirely by grace, how should Christians understand persistent wrongdoing after someone claims faith? My view is that salvation involves both God's grace and human obedience. Grace opens the way to eternal life, which humanity could not attain by its own efforts. But believers must also deny themselves, carry their cross, obey Christ's commands and strive to follow Him, as taught in Matthew 16:24, Luke 13:24 and Revelation 22:14. In short, I believe grace is God's part in making salvation possible, while righteous obedience is man's response. How do you reconcile grace, faith, repentance and works in the Christian life?
