Actually, this is the belief among Catholics. They do believe good works matter. But some don’t think it’s “christian enough?”

It does go against Evangelical teachings, I realize, where asking Jesus to be your savior is what matters.

I was brought up in a Protestant church, and learned that I would be rewarded in the afterlife if I lived according to Jesus’s teachings. Maybe things in “the mainline Christian church” have changed in the last 30 years, but I don’t think there’s anything “telling” about his statement that puts him out of the mainstream. He’s talking about the afterlife.
