Are you trying to peg me? "Psssssss"
Was a sincere question.

You didn't account for the possibility that all works, especially when contemplated in the context of salvation, appear self-serving.
The prerequisite for a work to be good is to be completely detached and personless before the work.
Thus, a full acknowledgement that you are a total sinner, and that any work rendered in any context other than empt ...[text shortened]... lly sustained? Of couese not.
Thus: no man does good works and never sins as in Ecclesiastes.
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat:
I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Naked, and ye clothed me:
I was sick, and ye visited me:
I was in prison, and ye came unto me
.(Matthew 25:34-36 KJV)
I guess Jesus needs to read Ecclesiastes.

You still won’t address (among many other things) if a person who accepts Christ but dies a very short time later (such as the thief on the cross next to Jesus) and before they had the opportunity to do any good works is saved and will inherit eternal life.

You are on your own there and not of Christ.

Jesus said no such thing.
You are on your own there and not of Christ.
And there you go again, not addressing questions that expose your doctrines as false and reveal your antipathy to Christ and what He did for you.
Your good works won’t get you to heaven or make you righteous (in right standing with God,) chest puffer. Only belief in Jesus Christ can do that.
Your ego and pride are your biggest stumbling blocks in your walk with Christ.

Oh geez, man, this is easily fixed by simply knowing the general belief that Christians have on the worth of works by themselves, the philosophy of the Jewish law, etc..
Ecclesiastes 7:20: "There is no man on the earth who does good and never sins."
There is also the belief that any work we do can be shifted towards self-beneficial and self-aggrand ...[text shortened]... Bible before you try to contextualize this passage or you run the risk of it just not matching.
Sheesh, even his naked drunkenness was blamed on his son.

is “love your neighbor as yourself” not a plump enough cherry for you?
(As an aside, I make a very good cherry pie. Recipe available upon request).

"On these TWO commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
'And the second is like unto it.'
In other words, the 2nd is the same as the 1st. It is not inferior to it as you suggest.

One was called greatest for a reason.
And the two together are what all the law and prophets 'hang on'.
