Interesting.
My NAB John 5: says that
24
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life.
This, and several other passages are taken by the Church to mean that belief in Him is a requirement; however we do not read this as avoidance of Judgement, rather, however we are Judged, we shall gain eternal life as long as we do this, as well as several other things such as Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
We don’t look at this as a single one-off requirement, rather, as one of several that must all be fulfulled.
I know you do. Therefore being born again doesn't seem to mean much to you.
