Of course, once work is done out of obligation of any kind or an ulterior motive of any kind, it is not salvific.

Any work done believing that it is necessary to save you or that works are a part of your salvation is done for a self serving ulterior motive, saving yourself..

The bible tells us we can do NO WORK that is pleasing to God except that work HE, Himself ordains and works through us

So God sees all the "good deeds" done with an eye to please Him to reinforce our salvation as a used kotex and good only for the trash .

But the scripture does not agree with that sophistry. The works that are not salvific that the scripture gives us examples of are works done under the Hebrew or any other law (Rm 3:28), or works done in order to boast (Eph. 2:9), or pharisaic works of self-aggrandizing hypocrisy (Mt 23:13, many similar). A desire for salvation is nowhere listed as wrong motivation.
