Regarding Mathew 19 verse 24. Being rich keeps no one out of heaven. If that were the case both Abraham and King David would be in hell both were extremely wealthy for their time. Jesus anwered his disciples after they asked who can be saved in Matthew 19 verse 25 in Verse 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
The conditions for salvation are impossible for men to meet. Therefore they must be imputed with the righteousness of the God-man the Lord Jesus Christ.
Of course protestants believe believers have good works, but the are not to be considered the evidence or the assurance of salvation.
