Rnmomof7 already explained this very well to you in posts #25 and #44. I seriously doubt you will accept anything else I might add - you apparently already have your mind made up.

I just re-read #25 and #44.

In all the Scriptures quoted, there is not a SYLLABLE saying anything about “sheep” and “goats.”

There are statements that we must believe in Christ, and there are statements about people who do good works, and people who do bad works, and what will happen to them.

But there is not one SYLLABLE in any of the Scripture verses quoted that supports sola fide.

I am afraid that some people’s brains are so stuffed with “faith-without-works-is-what-the-gospel-is-all-about” that they see it everywhere they look—even when it is NOWHERE.

I once sat through a sermon in a Missouri Synod Lutheran church, in which four miracles of Jesus were preached on, and the “message” of ALL FOUR of the gospel passages was that “Jesus is warning the blind man/the leper/the deaf man/ etc., etc. of the pitfalls of works-righteousness.”

If THOSE are the Scriptures that are supposed to “prove” that the Last Judgment is about some criterion OTHER than “you fed me, etc.,” or “you did not feed me, etc.,” then it’s as I suspected:

To the man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
