Amen!

This one is, “You have to be a perfect follower of Jesus before you can follow Him. He calls because you’re good.”

I’ve also heard, “You can follow Jesus without following Him. Since He has called you to come as you are, there is no such thing as coming to Him, or maybe there’s just no need to come.” (Just say that you came to Jesus or follow Him, there’s no need to actually does it, since, after all, He said to come as you are, so you don’t need to bother following Him or obeying Him.)

Your post does really does get the point though. So many “Christians” in America, when you ask them why they would go to heaven or how to go to heaven, they say things like, “I try to be a good person,” “I go to church,” “I read the Bible,” (I wonder how many Christians have never even touched a Bible! I wonder how many Christian martyrs have never been able to read the Bible,) “I help people out,” “I’ve changed,” etc. There’s some who say, “I believe in Jesus.” It’s really rare for someone to say, “Jesus died for me and rose from the dead, and He called me,” or something kind of like that.
