I believe its the Catholics more specifically that require you do acts of faith to reach the gates of heaven.
Catholics have most of it right, I just don't agree with some of their teachings and the ritualistic nature of their religion.
Nothing in particular against them, though.
Person A: *Kills a bunch of people* "Oh, sorry god, forgive me?"
God: "Sure bud, you're in."
*Goes to heaven when he dies*

Person B: "God damn it"
Person A: "Hey, you cursed, you should ask forgiveness"
Person B: "Nah, it's not a big deal.
*Person B goes to hell when he dies.*

No. Lucky for me, my parents (mom's a Christian and dad is a Jew) never pushed religion on me and let me decide for myself on whether to become religious or not.

Haha nice. I would rather curse and watch porn than listen to that drivel any day of the week.
Anyways, hell is not that bad as they'll be Slayer concerts every night. What does heaven get? Creed? PFFFF

Christianity does not state that one must do good works to have eternal life. One must only ask for forgiveness.
What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead (James 2:14-17).
