Sorry, but works, by itself, does not cut it. But if your works come from faith that is something totally different.
Basically, just being good or having good intentions does nothing but make you a good person in peoples eyes not God’s.

So when God gave the Noahide instructions to the generations of Noah, did He then change his mind? That was an eternal convenant.

What happened to righteous people before the gospels? Also did God make eternal other covenants (and we both know what I am referring to there) only to change His mind?

I know the doctrine that you are espousing and I am not trying to tell you what you should believe as a matter of faith. I am also not trying to insult you. I have however always been confused by this doctrine as it contradicts other doctrines and I don’t see how it gets resolved. How do you resolve it?
