All the earthly things you worry about are the things that reveal Faith. They do nothing to save you. All you have to do is believe The Gospel God takes care of the rest. This would be true and accord with the scripture if by faith you mean a well-formed faith. That would not contradict James 2 and be generally the Catholic teaching. If, however, by faith you mean a profession of faith not accompanied by good works and, worse unconcerned about them ("God takes care of the rest") then you contradict Romans 2, James 2 and Matthew 7 at the very least.

If, however, by faith you mean a profession of faith not accompanied by good works I'm curious what good works the thief on the cross did before Jesus told him he would be in Paradise that day.

(If you want to find a person's true religion, ask them what makes them a "good person".)
