Men must deserve salvation...

Nonsense. No one "deserves" salvation. We are all worthy of death and nothing more. Remember what St. Paul wrote about how unusual it is for someone to die for a good man, yet Christ died for us while we were the foulest sinners. The gift of salvation is completely gratuitous.

Okay. Then live a life of hedonistic delights, sin a lot and often because that's what humans do, and then call a priest to give you Last Rites on your death bed, confess your sins, and all will be forgiven. Gee, wish I had known this earlier, I missed so much fun.
