Oh, so you must not be a Christian but instead a Paulist. No surprise, really, though it has always confused me why people who call themselves Christian adhere so strongly to the words of a man who had never even met Christ.
I believe it is in Matthew 25 where Jesus describes the necessary and sufficient conditions for entering heaven - and He never mentions faith or grace. He says that one will be counted amongst the sheep if he has fed the hungry, visited the sick, clothed the naked, etc... and a person without those good works will be counted amongst the goats, instructed to depart from Him into the eternal fire.
Sounds pretty much like His decision is based on one's deeds, else why wouldn't he have mentioned faith?
