The only admonition I recall Jesus saying was *Go and sin no more*. But He never qualified that with *or you'll lose your salvation if you do*.

Let me help you here.

Matthew 7: 21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,* but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.n 22Many will say to me on that day,o ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?’p 23Then I will declare to them solemnly, ‘I never knew you.* Depart from me, you evildoers.’q

I think we might soon learn we can “dispense” with this Jesus teaching about the Kingdom of Heaven...

dispensation

Trust in your works if you want.

I’ll trust in the works of Christ that faith in Christ results in me being credited with.

Since I’m clothed in Christ, even if I am judged by my works, God will be seeing Christ’s works imputed to me and I’ll still be OK.
