2:58 So if you don't do good works you wont be saved? and what do you mean by saved? like going to heaven saved or getting your reward saved?

Great question! I would say ‘being saved’ in its simplest definition means the the state of being forgiven of your sins and having your eternal destiny with Christ secure by your acceptance of his lordship and repentance of your sins. And yes, one of the benefits of that is going to heaven when you die, but definitely not the only benefit! Technically yes, someone can do no good works and still reach heaven because it’s about Christ’s work on earth that gives us that access to heaven BUT good works are something we should strive to do daily because of it’s a natural response to being given such an incredible gift. Scripture tells us that good works aren’t something we do to attain salvation, but rather something we do as a response to Christ and his gift of salvation that we’ve already received. Here are some Bible verses that may bring more clarity! - Ephesians 2:9-10 - Romans 10:9-10 - Romans 6:23 - 2 Corinthians 5:17

So like, if someone believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and His actions on the cross and that He rose from the dead 3 days later, but that person does no good works, they would go to heaven but they would have no inheritance or reward, it's destroyed in the lake of fire(Is what I'm getting from, Rev21:6-8), Jesus did talk about people who would be the least in the Kingdom of Heaven, Matt5:19.

Correct, I believe the person you're describing would go to heaven, but there is scriptural evidence to suggest that he or she would have a lesser reward in heaven than someone who's spent their entire life serving God.
