You actually think someone that is rude, nasty, judgemental, vindictive and pretty much hateful, is going to be allowed to live eternity around people of perfect character?? Really? ... you seriously think they'll fit right in, huh?!
Nope...You will never be Christ like; sinless, in this lifetime...No one will...You (we) must be void of any sin when we appear before God..
It looks like you picked a few sins that you are currently not guilty of while avoiding mentioning the rest of them, perhaps to justify yourself in your perception of your own holiness...
What you seem to 'not get' is that we will be made sinless/perfect at the presence of God...In fact we are made sinless right now...
To think that when people get to heaven all they are going to do is change their clothes into something white is way off the mark...
I am one of the few here who agree with your assessment of the Beatitudes and Matt. 25 as proclaiming works requirements for salvation...
However, I beleive the rest of the bible as well...I also believe the rest of the bible including Eph. 2:8,9,10...And I will refer to a previous statement; things that are different are not the same...
Eph 2 and Matt. 25 do not say the same things...They say different things...They were written to and for different people in different times...Matt. is not written doctrinally for the New Testament church...

>> “Matt. is not written doctrinally for the New Testament church.” <<
Good, because there is no “new testament” and there is no church either.
The “testament” was renewed, just as the prophets stated, by the shedding of sinless human blood.
It was renewed with Yehova’s ancient Assembly, not some imaginary “church.”
Church is simply a deliberate mistranslation, ordered by the monarchs of the time the translations were made.
Churches are controlled by nicolaitans, and speak only the approved word, not the Word of Yehova.

Let me suggest a little, but important modification to this phrase. In fact, by His Cross-death, sacrificially bearing our sins in His body on the tree-wood, shedding His Blood and suffering the entire righteous fury of the Mighty God for them, He made it possible for His Righteousness to be imputed to the repentantly sorrowful sinner, so that the Father could judicially declare the believer "Not guilty"; and hence blameless, (not sinless)(Rom. 1:16-17; 6:23:; 8:1,2).
On the other hand, when the Death Angel comes to us (individually), and the soul-and-spirit being is separated from the old shell of flesh-and-blood, both the unrepentant one and the faithful one will be no longer able to commit sin, and from then on functionally sinless (Rom. 6:7).
Thus, the repentant and regenerated believer, relieved of his sin-burden and debt, having shed the old body, will be from thenceforth faultless, only one step away from occupying and motivating a perfect and likewise faultless body of flesh, endlessly. Thus, at that moment the Christ-redeemed believer will be not only blameless and sinless, but also faultless for ever.
"Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to
present you faultless before the presence of his glory with
exceeding joy,
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty,
dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen" (Jude verses 24-25 AV).
