. I guess it contains something referring to "WORKS" so it obviously won't be about salvation according to your OSAS belief system.
Well you answered the question You do not know if you are good enough or if you have done enough to get to heaven. That means that you have already failed and will not receive eternal life with Christ.
Jesus said only to those who came to Him that they need to believe not to work. Jesus gave no one any works to do to attain heaven. those who were working were told to believe and receive. Yes they were to cease from labors that were heavy and difficult to bear but only through Him could they reach the divine standard.
You and the pope will find out too late that there is nothing a sinner can do to save himself. That which is unclean cannot do anything that God will accept except repent and trust Christ.

Of course where not justified by the law, but God still expects us to live a holy lifestyle and renounce ungodliness. Read throughout the bible his commands regarding holy living and turning from wickedness. Throughout the new testament works of the law are mentioned- telling us not to go back to the law of Moses because we are under the new covenant now, since Jesus died. But that doesn't mean we can just pretend like they're are no commands regarding holy living and obeying God.

Hey, if you are not "trying to save yourself", then the accusation does not apply to you! Let others say what they want, salvation comes through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Salvation does not come through belief in and acceptance of a doctrinal system of belief.

Not judgement just a statement of fact according to scripture. The justified cannot be unjustified and justification cannot be earned.
Salvation is a gift it cannot be earned.
Abraham Justified by Faith
…3For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 4Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation. 5However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.…
