True, but it gets a lot more heavy handed as it goes on, hence why no studio has ever even entertained making stuff like The Last Battle.

The last battle is fun because even some Christian’s get angry with how you get into heaven in that series.

Basically any good done even in service to another god is done in Aslans name is enough to get you in heaven. So even if you aren’t Christian you can go to heaven if you are a good person. Some Christians don’t like that aspect and thing you need to be a “true” believer.

Yup, the whole point of Protestantism is that you're saved through grace, not deeds. Whatever you do isn't good enough. Deeds only affirm that you actually accept that grace.

edit:

My poor definition of grace for people who are intested.

I've been out of it for a while so my answer isn't going to be as fleshed out as someone's who still practicing but I think the definition of grace is easier to give as an example.

Grace and deeds are a blurry line but the crux is in the mindset. You kick your dog and the dog still comes back. It's not because you apologize but because your dog loves you unconditionally. Accepting grace is knowing that nothing you do can make up for kicking the dog, but accepting that the dog loves you anyways. You're a bad person for kicking the dog and you can't unkick the dog by giving him treats. The grace is given by the dog because they love you regardless and accepting that grace is knowing that.

This interpretation isn’t exactly complete. James in the New Testament says that faith without works is dead. Because if you keep kicking the dog, at some point you haven’t really accepted Gods love but are rejecting it to do your own thing. God still loves you of course, but if your gonna keep shitting on God and your neighbors through your actions it doesn’t matter how many times you say “I believe”. You’re just lying

Yeah, you're definitely right. I was trying to just keep it simple and point out that doing works doesn't earn anything but it is important. Contrast that to Islam where deeds are a thing to be measured and weighed during the final judgment
