Salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, not through any work at all that you do.
No argument here. Jesus is the judge, and he judges us according to our works.

Not for your salvation, your eternal life. That is only bought by the Blood of Jesus Christ. Yours works in regards to your salvation are nothing but filthy rags.

In regards to Salvation, the only Judge is the Word of God, and whether or not you have received what it says of Jesus, that ye must be born again.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
And your works in regard to salvation are not worthy to even claim before a Holy God. His Son died to buy the pardon from sin, and you shouldn't say that some feeble works you can do could ever earn what Christ has already done. If you could of earned it, he would of died in vain.
Isaiah 64:6 ¶But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
