Even after faith we must have the love of neighbor to forgive them their transgressions against us in order to have God forgive us.

Works based religious system.

Jesus tells us that the work of God it to believe on Him, to have faith.

Catholics tell us it's something else, that faith isn't enough.

I'll go with Jesus over the corrupt and immoral Catholic church.

If man could earn heaven...they would not have needed a Savior

It is Jesus who say that we will not be forgiven if we do not forgive others. And also:

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. Many will say to me on that day, ‘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?’ Then I will declare to them solemnly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.’ (Matthew 7:21-23)
I'll go with Jesus and what he actually said.
