They addressed Him as Lord (as a title), however they trusted in their works and therefore Jesus who did not know them, HE clearly states "departs from me I never knew you."
It was actually their works that were the hindrance to them being known by Jesus.
There is only one faith/one belief that saves and brings redemption, we come to Him on His terms. It is actually easy to believe wrong that is why the road is narrow and few find it.

In Matthew 7:22 they are stating " Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?"
These words they are saying are all pointing to works they were doing but they said nothing of the work Jesus did for them on the cross. They did not say to Jesus, didn't you come for us? Didn't you paid the penalty for our sins on the cross? Instead they spoke of their own good deeds done in his name.

What they were convicted of in context of what Peter stated is guilt in their how they were complicit in the death of Jesus.
“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
And I still do not see any works in Peter's words,
repent>>> not a work,
baptism>> not a work for salvation.

Dude, you just contradicted yourself.....in that one set of verses Jesus covers all religions that blend faith PLUS works to gain, maintain, keep or embellish salvation and entrance into the kingdom.
He does not say they were not doing works IN HIS NAME just as MOST so called Christian religions do to this very day......
Oh, foolish Galatians, who had BEWITCHED THEE.....?
Having BEGUN IN THE SPIRIT (Faith) are you NOW MADE COMPLETE (perfect) by WORKS.
Nowhere does the bible teach a faith plus anything for salvation.....regardless of any and ALL that try to take it there or make it say such a thing!!
