Well, if you're into what they call "Cheap" Grace.....Though your missing the whole of it...
here's some more zpopularamusement to spin how you need - or anyone who boasts of such self-assurance....Ask yourself- Am I really guaranteed? or is it my own private judgement?

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.

41 Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels.

1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?

If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves.

HA.

On top of your personal attack, which just proves your lack of argument, cheap grace is what you find in Catholic doctrine.

True grace can’t be found in Catholicism, because true grace realizes that you literally can’t ever be good enough to please God, and you can only cry out for mercy, which is found solely in Jesus Christ.

True grace then seeks to obey God, not for a reward but out of gratitude and love.

Catholicism, on the other hand, preaches that you have to be good in order to earn your way into heaven, but hey, if you’re not good, just go to confession and pay the priests to have Masses in your name after you’re dead.

Now THAT’S cheap grace. It’s not a change of life or a regeneration; it’s nothing more than bribery.
