All I can add to your remarks is that I find it laughable that anyone should think that God will judge them by the religious ‘club’ they belong to, regardless of their sincerity of belief, love for Him, or how they conduct themselves in this life.

Exactly.
When we stand at the judgement bar of our Lord Jesus Christ, he is not going to care one whit whether or not you, I, or any other person was a Catholic, or a Protestant.
All he is going to be concerned with, is whether or not your name or my name or any other person's name is written in the Book of Life.
The only way to get your name in the Book of Life is to be born again.
Being a Catholic does not get your name in the Book of Life, I've known many Catholics that were out and out unrepentant sinners.
God does not allow unrepentant sinners into heavan.
The same things can be said about Protestants, Being a Protestant does not get your name in the Book of Life, many Protestants are unrepentant sinners and also, will not get into heavan as a result.
You only get to heavan if you are truly born again by the Blood of Jesus, changed from the inside out, where all things are new, old things have passed away.
