[Dr. Eckleburg]

It tosses aside verses like "work out your salvation in fear and trembling" and "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman".

Of course it doesn't. Those verses are written to believers who know full-well their redemption has been bought and paid for in full by Christ, and not through their own righteousness.

" For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." -- Ephesians 2:8-10

Here Paul very clearly tells us none of our own good works saves us, but that all the good works we perform were ordained by God "that we should walk in them."

The RCC relies on the magisterium to give out gold stars for good works accomplished while Scripture tells us the only good work that saves anyone is the work of Christ upon the cross.

Pray for discernment.

while Scripture tells us the only good work that saves anyone is the work of Christ upon the cross.

As I said, you toss aside "work out your salvation" with your false dichotomy: either all Christ or all man.
