“Really? Is that what all Protestants believe? That you will be judged by your good works and that will determine where you go?”

No. The sentence says that we are justified (saved to eternal life) but works determine rewards in heaven.

What a fascinating concept. Do you guys think of Heaven as a sports arena, where the most righteous sit in the best seats? We are to be with Our Lord in Heaven, praising Him forevermore. Not vying to have the largest and dryest martini, or the largest bosomed virgins. What rewards? Are you guys heading over to the Muslim camp with the 72 virgins? What rewards?
