As far as I can tell, when God looks at sinners, he isn't looking at doers of good works, He is looking for those who fear God. Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, is not a work.
Acts 13:26 ESV
"Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation.

Once I have the time I plan on reading the teachings concerning 'virtuous pagans'. I glanced over several parts of this thread and it looks like the old faith and works debate. The question of virtuous pagans seems tangentially related.
