Do Jews believe that they are sinless and deserving of salvation because of their own works?....seems that is what the temple sacrifices were all about!

God made it clear to them that they were sinners and guilty in his eyes..

Not hardly.

and deserving of salvation because of their own works?

Depends on how many good works vs. how many sins

.....seems that is what the temple sacrifices were all about!

Foregiveness is available without blood sacrtifice; see, e.g.,Hosea 6:5-6.

God bless.

Depends on how many good works vs. how many sins, and on what has been done to repent of, and make restitution for, those sins.
