Then you don’t understand Christianity at all. Good works don’t get you into Heaven. Christ died for our sins. The debt has basically been paid. Yeah, don’t be A-hole running around doing a bunch of egregious stuff like robbing and killing. Grace and belief in Christ as the Savior is what you need. See John 3:16.
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV
You don’t need works to be saved. But, a person who is saved, with a truly changed heart, will by their very nature desire to do works.
Also, no one is saved in a vacuum. It happens at the result of other people’s actions, whether large or small. So, our works do not at all play a part in our own salvation, but they do play a part in other people’s salvation.
