You miss the point. These people were never saved. The Mormon may claim Lord, Lord but is lost. As is the Muslim or Hindu. There are millions who wear the scapular and claim for Mary to save them but are lost. Also note their “good works” did nothing for them.
If they claimed FAITH UNTO SALVATION, they certainly were saved (past sins forgiven at Grace), just like you and I claim. Then, they lived their lives for Christ, claiming and doing this and that in His name. Then, they were judged (on their works).
The big question is WHY will they not be in heaven. The answer is, because Christ never KNEW them. If a person says they "KNOW" Christ, they keep His commandments. If they don't, they are called LIARS. You know the text, right? Not keeping His commandments is LAWLESSNESS. God's law was the standard of the Old Covenant, as it is for the New Covenant. That is crystal clear biblical doctrine.
LOOK at the language:
Hebrews 8:10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, KNOW the Lord: for all shall KNOW me, from the least to the greatest.
Knowing the Lord means keeping his law/commandments. That is New Covenant 101. His people obey. Those who don't are LAWLESS. Saying God's law doesn't apply to them is nothing short of treason. One who rejects God's laws, de facto, rejects Christ. Revelation makes it very clear that it is COMMANDMENT KEEPERS that will be in heaven. Those who think God's law doesn't apply to them will not be there, no matter who tells them otherwise (false teachers).

Sorry, double post.
