Wrong.
Its rather state in the Bible:
"Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Saying Lord, Lord doesn't mean you have faith.
Are you seriously denying what the Word saying over 20 times?
Romans 3:23-26 (NTL)
23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.
24 Yet God, with undeserved kindness,
declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
25 For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past,
26 for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just,
and he declares sinners to be right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.Romans 3:28 (NLT)
28
So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.
Romans 4:3 (NLT)
3 For the Scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God,
and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”This scripture is refering to Genesis 15:6 which says
6 And Abram believed the Lord,
and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.2 Corinthians 5:21
21st Century King James Version
For He hath made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us,
that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.Romans 5:8-9
21st Century King James Version
8 But God commendeth His love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then,
being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
Justified means "to be made righteous"
Romans 9:30-31
21st Century King James Version
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness,
even the righteousness which is by faith;
31 but Israel,
who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
