If I grant you this, it is still true that you could be under obligation to moral commands which makes it such that God is under no obligation to save you if you do not live a moral life… regardless of if you worship Him or not.and it seems plausible that no one has lived such a moral life when we consider the great suffering in the world and how relatively little we all do to end it. Such a state seems consistent with traditional Christian teaching which states that we are only saved by the mercy of God and not by anything we have done.
