"Is every day Judgement Day? It must be if we get to go right to Heaven."
Jesus said to the thief on the cross : "Today you will be with me in Paradise", so in that sense, sure - but there is no "time" as we know it in heaven (try wrapping your mind around the concept of "eternity").
If we are not "saved", though, we cannot enter the presence of God because we are still stained by sin - until and unless that sin is washed by the "blood of the Lamb", which is what happens when we ask Jesus to be our Lord and Savior (even for a wretch like me).

Case of misplaced comma. Try Luke 23:43 as, And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you today, you shall be with me in paradise.” In other words, “I’m telling you right now that someday you will be with me in paradise.”

He said (according to the Bible) I tell you today you will be with me in Paradise. The KJV puts the comma after "you" but there is not punctuation in the original. So what if we put it after "today"? It would match the information about death in the rest of the Bible. The dead know nothing, for instance.
Plus Jesus was not in Paradise that day, but rested in the tomb until He was resurrected, and He would not have lied to the thief.
