Jesus also said, "Judge a righteous judgement". You make hundreds of judgements every day and they'd better be good ones in some cases, such as waiting to drive onto a highway if there's a double-botton gravel truck coming. Judgement: "How far away? What is its closing speed?. Judging is part of our lives.

Of course it is - but not judging whether someone goes to heaven or hell. God reserves the right to do that. That's not what we are here for. You have no right to claim that Mother Theresa is in hell, just because you are obviously anti-Catholic.

BTW, you seem to have evaded my original question:

Do you honestly believe that someone can be as evil and cruel as possible for 75 years and then be "saved" in the last ten seconds of their life and still be treated the same as someone who led a life of self-sacrifice and doing for others? I still find that very hard to believe. If what you say is true, then what is the incentive to be good?

Sure. Read: (II Chronicles 33:12) how God forgave King Manasseh, who had sacrificed his children to Satan, among all the other things he did leading Israel astray.

There's no sin so great that God won't forgive. But He does not honor lately-invented rites like masses and sacraments.
Those are human inventions that fly in the face of The Word Of God.

As for my judging, let me tell you what God has said "The spiritual man judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man".
