Orthodoxy and Catholicism are false religions that believe in a works-based salvation and they are all going to hell.
Only true believers in Christ are saved.
It's only by faith in our Lord Jesus, and once saved always saved.
Works alone won't get you into the Kingdom, but faith and a belief that works are required wont keep you out.
Works alone won't get you into the Kingdom, but faith and a belief that works are required wont keep you out.
No, when you trust in your own works to make yourself righteous before God, then you are not trusting 100% in Jesus. People who believe in work-based salvation believe they can lose their salvation.
Jesus died for all of my sins, in the past, present and future. Not some, not most, all of them. So my salvation is guaranteed based on faith alone. Eternal life is eternal life.
Matthew 7:22-23 King James Version
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

^ A great sermon on the topic.
What about faith in Jesus Christ plus lots of sin? Are you still good?
Christians who become wicked and sinful will be severely punished for their sins in this life, and may also lose their rewards in Heaven. However once someone accepts Jesus as their saviour, they are saved forever.
Salvation is only by faith i.e. BELIEVING, and once saved, always saved.
John 10:28
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
Acts 16:30-31
30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Salvation is a free gift that can never be taken away.
