How do you guys know when you did enough good works? Or good enough ones?

If I view myself, others and God in this manner, I'm on a very wrong track.

It would be like marrying for money.

Their view of us is legalistic. They think that Catholicism is actually an accounting exercise. However, they de emphasize the Beatitudes and the Commandments of Christ to the point where they are scarcely noteworthy in their eager acceptance of the New New Messiah - Paul.
