deeds and works are not what gets you to heaven. Sure it couldn't hurt to help and to give to others and to church but works alone don't get you there. Living in your faith. Being devoted to Christ and living by the word get you there.
Some religions believe that works are huge; like mormons; but Christians don't. They help, they are good. By all means help people but it is not all it takes

faith without works is dead,we are to run the race and work out our salvation with fear nad trembling. salvation is not guaranteed but an ongoing process that we must strive for all the time,god will determine if we did enough,it will not be just by our "deeds" and "works" but by how we ran the race as a whole.

You can't do 'enough' deeds and works. It's a way of the Christian living.

A person does not go to Heaven from good works. They go to Heaven from grace given to them in baptism from God. After saying this though I will also say like James " Faith without works is dead. Show me your faith and I will show you my works" or something like that. The faith compells us to do the works not the other way around.

The only way to get into heaven is "that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. for with the heart the man believeth unto righteousness: and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"(Romans 10:9-10)

Not works, Faith.
