So do Catholics think that if they keep all His commandments that they’ll enter heaven, or be qualified to enter heaven?

Obey the Ten Commandments
for Everlasting Life

According to you guys, that's all that's required. Everything else is gravy.
However, I can point out to you that the Council of Trent explicitly rejected the position that persons are justified merely by obedience to the law -- whether Mosaic or natural.
No Jello required.
