Yes you're correct. Catholics are a little different. They believe one must be good and accept Christ.

>I think there are actually quite a few places where we are told how we should behave, how to be a "good person". I don't think Christians are saved by only believing in Christ. They have a double responsibility: believe in Him, and obey Him.

To a Christian, being "good" is a by product of being a believer, but not a mean to obtain salvation. "...your good works are like dirty rags... all fall short to the glory of God... by grace you are saved, not by works...."

If you knowingly disregard all His teachings, then you can't say you're a Christian. After all, Christian emplies "Christ Like", at least in spirit.

If being good is required, how do you know that you're good enough?
What if you're neighbor does more good things then you? Does it mean that your neighbor is a better believer then you?
