"Deeds" don't count a righteousness/Worthiness to earn one's way to Heaven no.
"Deeds" matter as they are an expression of Love to God.
Having deeds 'Matter" is like saying your wife only loves you because you bring home the bacon, take out the trash, kill spiders, and open new jars of pickles.
This is in contrast to God's ecconomy, in that All of those things we do, cease being the only reason we are loved, and become an expression of our love to 'our wife' Or in the Case of God become an expression of Love to God. His love for us is not based on the crap we do but based on Who we are.
