Right, but that isn't quite what I was addressing.
You yourself have said that there is no way anyone can do "enough." I agree. We are desperately wicked through and through.
However, the redeemed are those who cling to God by faith and are being made perfect. Perfectionism and fatalism are not appropriate for Christians. Love and trust are. Obedience and virtue not based in love and trust are of no merit.
