*ahem* in your book, we can only earn it by accepting Christ as our personal Saviour..
It is impossible to 'earn' salvation. Admitting that one is a sinner and need a Savior is not 'earning' salvation. Its, merely, telling the truth.

Earned:
2 a: to come to be duly worthy of or entitled or suited to [she earned a promotion] b: to make worthy of or obtain for [the suggestion earned him a promotion]
Since one is not entitled to salvation, one becomes worthy of, or earns, it by the action of accepting the offer.
