Not as proud as the people who think so highly of themselves that they think they can actually do works that are good enough to please God and that because of that He will let them into heaven.

Did Jesus Christ perform “works”?

James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

So Heaven now gives out the Golden EBT cards? Free Passes, no work involved? Sounds like a welfare system. The Apostles got it all wrong. Paul compared his daily struggles to running a race. Some of the others got martyred. Sounds like they should have stayed at home and rode the gravy train. Works won't get you into Heaven but are a result of and demonstration of faith. Which of the Ten Commandment "works" does God snicker at?
