But the thief did do a work. He believed.
>>Agreed. God always examines the hearts of men and shows mercy.

But the good thief shouldn’t be taken as the example of a general rule for those who want to be spiritual freeloaders, who do evil, and then cry, “Lord,Lord”.

For some Protestants, their idea Jesus is a talisman in the sky and a get out of jail free card. In effect, they replace the real Second Person of the Blessed Trinity with an idol of their own creation.

Eternal security is a lie for the spiritually lazy.

You already told us you didn't attain a personal relationship with Jesus when you got wet...So that explains your secular understanding of scripture...

The Apostle John says you are flat out wrong...So when you call us a liar, you call the Apostle John a liar as well as Jesus...John got his information from Jesus...

1Jn 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Now, is that verse over your head??? Or you just don't believe it??? Do you need it interpreted for you???

Or do you know it's true and are just handling the word of God deceitfully???

Or perhaps you are just plain 'lost'...

2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Protestants..."they replace the real Second Person of the Blessed Trinity with an idol of their own creation."

You mean like Mary has been considered 2nd Person to Christ among catholics, or equal to?

No, Christians don't replace any within the Trinity with an idol of mans making which he's formed out of plaster, rubber, wood, concrete and whatever substance determined to 'create' . Not one....we make no idols to worship nor bow down to them, nor prau to them.
