You think you can achieve a state of perfection? Not according to the bible. God through the death of Jesus Christ to atone for your sin can make you perfect, but that is not you achieving it now is it?
So lets go back to all those good muslims and how they're getting to heaven if they pass the test of Jesus, but not the test that we would take because the Word of God has been corrupted. Here is the test. Submit to Jesus Christ or not? Answer yes = pass, answer no = fail.

Obviously Jesus was and is and always be perfect. All saints before being born again have sinned and were not perfect. Can a Christian be perfect toward God as concerning his works?
Answer:
We better be.
Why?
Jesus said :
1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write ; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest , and art dead. 2 Be watchful , and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die
: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard , and hold fast , and repent . If therefore thou shalt not watch , I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 5 He that overcometh , the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and
I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Rev. 3:1-5
Only those who are overcomers will not be blotted out of the book of life.
Jesus counsels his Church to get right. Make their works perfect. Be overcomers. Only such people will be accepted by him.
