The context of the comment I was referring to is that of Jesus judging the sinner, who is supposed to be a believer.
The verses you posted talk about God judging through Jesus.
The problem is when people do not see Jesus as their Savior, but rather as their judge so they go to someone else, like Mary, to appease Jesus.
Believers are already forgiven, there is no condemnation.
John 5 is pretty clear that all judgement has been given to the Son. Jesus will judge all at their death or the last day. Believers have no reason to fear as they have been justified by grace through faith in the redeeming work of Jesus.

I think you are absolutely correct in that assessment, but that doesn't change the facts. It is really indicative of a condition when works replace faith. How can you know when you have done enough vs believing and accepting the finished work of Christ trusting in His promises.
