Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is [the Book] of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.

We who have put our faith in Christ alone for salvation have been clothed in the righteousness of Christ, HIS perfect life and good works are credited to our account.

Additionally, that is the judgment of the unsaved, those who rejected Christ's finished work on the cross and appealed to their own good works to save them. God is giving them what they want.

They want to get into heaven on their good works? God will judge them by that. And it's not going to turn out well.

Yes, good works are credited to our account. You don't have to remind God of them, as was asked here and was the question I was responding to.

Additionally, that is the judgment of the unsaved, those who rejected Christ's finished work on the cross and appealed to their own good works to save them.

Yes, without faith their good works are dead, and vice versa.

They want to get into heaven on their good works? God will judge them by that. And it's not going to turn out well.

Yes, for those without faith, that will certainly happen.
