I can't believe the liberal/progressive lie that pretty much everyone is going to Heaven because it is some sort of participation trophy for just having lived. However, the other extreme where proper faith is so narrowly defined that few are following it seems to be just as wrongheaded.

I could not agree more.

I think God may be a tad more generous about what He accepts as a heart that belongs to Him, than we do judging based on outward appearances of human actions.

After all, God WANTS to save people, far more than people want to be saved and far more than He wants to condemn them.

It disturbs me greatly when people portray God as a God who almost delights in condemning people to hell, ready to zap them for the least little supposed infraction. The God they portray comes across as a grudging God who saves people because He has to. *Well, they did X, Y, and Z, so I guess they're in.*

We all sin greatly in our hearts even if we can control our actions and since He knows our hearts, better than we know them ourselves, we can't fool God.
