*nods* There's actually a passage in the Bible that covers that, though - I wish I could remember the number. But it points out that between, e.g., a Philistine (? Do I have the right group? Oh well, non-Jewish type) lives right their whole life and tries to do good and a Jewish/Christian type who just goes with the flow and figures they'll just get into Heaven because of that, it would be the Philistine that would get in.
A lot of religions expect a LOT of people in their actual scriptures - it always amazes me how quickly people are to forget things like that (and that it's usually those practicing >.< ). :S
