You have been shown numerous scriptures showing that you cannot be saved by works. I believe - correct me if I am wrong - that the Catholic Church does not suffer traditions that CONTRADICT scripture.

If you are waiting for Judgment Day to find out if you have done enough good deeds, then you violate the direct teaching of scripture.

“8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

Have been saved - past tense.

Not a result of works,

so no one may boast.

More to the point, I have myself said numerous times that I do not believe one is saved by works.

Faith plus works.
