Wow. I've been a born-again Christian for over 40 years and I'm not sure I pass all those tests. It seems to me God makes it much simpler. Jesus did all the heavy lifting, on the cross said "It is finished" (John 19:30), and made it easy for us (Matthew 11:30).

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. Romans 10:9

And then God makes it even simpler.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13.

As Isaiah said, “to the law and to the testimony”.

We should not kid ourselves about the results of real salvation.
