I do see however think that your comment is based mostly on what was not said, but your assumptions (and possibly misunderstandings).
I believe this is why you misunderstand the meme posted.
Oh, we understand what it's trying to say. It's just what it's saying is inane.

Salvation has nothing to do with how good we think we are; but rather, on our acknowledgement of our shortcomings, requesting, and accepting God's forgiveness. This in no way negates the fact that a proper response to God's grace is gratitude and obedience.
As I said, inane.
