Salvation is complete in Jesus Christ. There is nothing I can do to ad to what he has done. My response to his salvation makes me want to walk close to him but that doesn't save me.

So obedience has nothing to do with the end result of eternal life? IF not, you clearly deny the Words of Christ. Yes, slavation is complete in Christ but it's not simply by a moment of time of faith at the very beginning but the life giving Spirit by which you follow in which you will be given eternal life should you continue in faith/walking/working after the Spirit. Thus you are lawful and God judged you faithful. Who said anything about being made perfect by the flesh? It is through his leading and me following him which is obedience. Christ does not impute righteousness to you in that you are complete and God never sees you sinning or the OSAS mentality. You live according to his will to be counted worthy.
Also as usual you fail to realize the Judgment in which you are judged by your works. You are not judged by Christ's work but your own unto faithfulness like Christ.
