Is there a religion more narcissistic than Protestantism?

I guess it depends on how one defines narcissism

I would say it is narcissistic to believe one can impress God enough that He would repay them by saving them

Psa 53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were [any] that did understand, that did seek God.
Psa 53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

That would be narcissistic. That's why Orthodox and Catholics never think they have even come close. Unlike the Protestants, who adopt Jesus and "know" they have impressed God enough forever.
