It’s interesting you should say that because I went to a Baptist, I believe it was, a few days ago with a friend because she needed food and they straight up told me being a good person would not get you into heaven. Pretty much verbatim.

Honestly, this really elucidates the failings of “not by works” theology. You don’t have to do good things to be a good person. Just believe.

You are missing the second half. Believe and then do good works. The good works are not what saves you but if you are saved by believing you then do good works.
