And if your good deeds outweigh your bad deeds, you get to go into heaven?

I dont think so.
Its a book..."The Book of Life" to be exact.
Revelation 20:12
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.
Revelation 20:11-13 (in Context) Revelation 20 (Whole

The moment we die, all our sins are 'paid for'.
(Romans 6:23) For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.
Wages means fully paid up.
The 'judgement' mentioned at Revelation 20; 12,13 is based on our reaction to being resurrected back onto the surface of the earth. Psalm 37; 9,11,29,34. The ones who even now lambast Almighty God Jehovah and his son will not soon change thgeir mind if they happen to die before Armageddon.

From the viewpoint of Christianity, good deeds are not what get you into heaven; believing in God and the idea that He sent His Son to pay for our sins is the only way into heaven. Jesus died to atone for our sins, but to receive that gift we have to actively take it and believe it. If you believe Christianity.

Only my heart will be placed on a scale. The other tray will hold a single feather of Ma'at.
