Religion is of man.
There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death. Proverbs 14:12

Not religion...
Many things work together via God's plan to allow us to go to Heaven if we are obedient & faithful.
The Bible says nothing of being saved by anything "only." The truth is, the Bible speaks of numerous things involved in salvation:
Matthew 10:22 we are saved by enduring to the end (i.e., being faithful unto death - Revelation 2:10);
Mark 16:15-16 – we are saved by believing the gospel and being baptized;
John 3:16 and Acts 16:31 – we are saved by faith;
Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:13 – we are saved by calling on the name of the Lord; (many do not understand what this means. The answer can be found by reading Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 6:46; and Acts 22:16);
Acts 4:12 – we are saved by the name of Christ;
Romans 1:16 and 1 Corinthians 15:1-2 – we are saved by the Gospel;
Romans 5:9 – we are saved by Jesus’ blood;
Romans 5:10 – we are saved by Jesus’ life;
Romans 8:24 – we are saved by hope;
Romans 10:9 – we are saved by confession and faith;
1 Corinthians 1:21 – we are saved by preaching;
2 Thessalonians 2:10 – we are saved by loving the truth;
1 Timothy 4:16 – we are saved by taking heed to the doctrine and continuing in it;
Titus 3:5 – we are saved by the mercy of God;
James 1:21 – we are saved by the engrafted word;
1 Peter 3:21 – we are saved by baptism.
Thus, we see the folly of claiming to be saved by any one thing.

John 3:6-8 (King James Version)
6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

The truth of your being is within you; not in the dogma and traditions of religion.

No, it is by GRACE we are saved through FAITH, not of works lest any man should boast.
All our righteousness are as filthy rags.
