Who are we to decide if someone is saved or not? Who are we to decide if one is doing enough or not enough works for our Lord? Who are we ... period?
In the grand scheme of the universe we are but a tiny, tiny, tiny dot.
Anything we were, are, ever hope to be is up to our yielding to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
God decides if we are "saved." God decides what we can/will be.
God is in charge..... period.
Praise be to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We creatures here below are here because God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

How do we know if we have eternal life?
Romans 10:13 “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
1 John 5:13
New International Version
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
King James Bible
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
John 10:28-30
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.
These are just "some" passages which confirm eternal life.

We humans do not know what's in the heart of another. We don't know what's in the mind of another. If we concentrate on our own heart, mind our lives will be full to the brim. Just saying.
The only time I get riled up is whenever God's Word explaining and showing eternal salvation is questioned. There is one way and one way only.

Who are we to decide? The Bible explicitly states in 1 Cor. 5 to clean out the old leaven. Why do this? If they don’t oust those who are living contrary to the word of God, this could harm that local church. Then in Matthew 18, the Christ explicitly lays the groundwork for how to handle ppl who act unruly. In both cases, reconciliation is to be strived for. But if the unruly member will not repent and come under authority of the church, oust them.
Without church discipline it will end up in ruin. So, we are to judge the works of the members of our local church.
