According to Jesus in John 6, a person has to partake in the Eucharist to have life. Protestants and evangelicals have a big problem on that point, don’t they?

It seems to me that God alone judges who makes it into heaven. It isn’t for us to judge, so let’s work out our salvation with fear and trembling, and pray for one another.

No...that's not correct.

Because if it were the thief on the cross wouldn't get into Heaven as he had no chance to participate in the Lord's Supper.

That would also rule out deathbed conversions, people mortally wounded professing faith in Christ, etc as they have no chance to participate in the Lord's Supper.

IF one reads the accounts of the Lord's Supper in the Gospel and 1 Corinthians, one quickly sees this is to "do this in remembrance of Me."....not to be saved.
