Jesus accepts those here and now who believe and obey him.
Jesus accepts those who do right: Acts 10:35 but that in every nation those who fear Him and live good lives are acceptable to Him.

Being saved is about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. You are not ever out of the equation.
You can forgive other before you are forgiven, for you cannot be forgiven if you do not first forgive others.
…unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart; Matthew 18:35.

A person had to obey God and do the purification/ceremonial works of the law before they could belong to God.
Hebrews 9:13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean.
Hebrews 9:22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

We have to believe full stop.
That is what saves.
When we believe then we want to obey and seek to be like Jesus as a result of being saved.
If you say we have to obey in order to be saved then you have to set the bar.
If that's the case what is the bar?
Is it the same bar that God sets in order to achieve salvation?
