I gave it a great deal of serious thought. I even sat through a fairly long sermon several months ago on this very topic. And was shocked how even my priest could get this wrong. My son (a man who was instrumental in my conversion to Catholicism) and I hashed this out at great length.

I suspect you are alone in your understanding. IOW, you are either the only correct one or you are mistaken.

Maybe you should read it again and again consider which one satisfied Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Consider what was "the will of the father" in this parable. Remember, it is a parable. The "will of the father" was to "go work in the vineyard". Who met this condition? Who did not?

he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

The work could have been done by servants. what he wanted was obedience. He wants "YES"

Who met this condition? To say "no" is disobedient. To work after saying NO is to work because you will it, not because He does.

The clue, for me, is that you are both choosing the same son that the Priests did. Are you saying that the priests were right?

Are you saying Jesus was saying sinners went to Heaven?

When you read the Bible, do you feel you are fulfilling every requirement? Are you now perfect? No? But you did say yes, right?
