Once your intention is truly good, then your word will be good to God and forgivesness and charity will rule.

Baptism is an outward sign of this intention to follow His rules.

But mortals will be will mortals and not everyone chooses this. Without the option to choose, the choice would be meaningless.

Our fruit will be judged as well as our intention and how we interact with others especially those who are poor, tired, addicted, and lack knowledge.
