Ok, say a person has no church affiliation, but walks the path of Jesus, does that guy make the cut to heaven?
The condition is true faith, but not just mental assent. Faith that results in true regeneration of the soul. As all the better reformers asserted by authority of the Apostle Paul... He that believes is justified.
Does faith cause regeneration?
The direct immediate power of the Holy Spirit causes regeneration. Faith in Christ crucified and raised is the condition, all enabled by Grace alone.
