Also, trusting is good thing, but it doesn't disprove my statement. The rich can be unrighteous, and the poor generally are righteous because they trust and obey.
But where does Jesus via Paul teach 'performance' as a Heaven entry requirement ?
Please list the verses, TIA :)

And where does it say where you are in the Kingdom of God is not merit based?

As if you didn't give any. Think about. Trust in God leads to obedience. Jesus teaches the rich lad who called him "good" to give up his posessions. I would call that performance.

[Rom 2:13 KJV] – 13 (For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

Works of law is actually about law enforcement. I failed give note to it also.

Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Next verse please where Jesus via Paul teaches 'performance' as a Heaven entry requirement

Deeds of law is law enforcement. It is not the performance of the law. But It is a good place to start.

3:20 διότι ἐξ ἔργων νόμου οὐ δικαιωθήσεται πᾶσα σὰρξ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ διὰ γὰρ νόμου ἐπίγνωσις ἁμαρτίας

How that from the deeds of the torah(command) not any flesh be adjusting by his, since through a command itself the notice of the wrong.

It is very difficult to render Greek, because English needs more verbs. But it is clear, being punished by law is not enough. You must perform it, how that God has given one to mankind to be interpreted per need.

List the verses where Jesus via Paul teaches 'performance' as a Heaven entry requirement
Gal 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Works of Law refers to law enforcement. And if you don't perform, you don't have faith.

And what is the faith of Jesus? The fear of YHWH.

[Mat 7:21 KJV] – 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
[Mat 12:50 KJV] – 50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

I guess it is not a requirement unless you have much of money. Still, there seems to be some bias in the renderings.

Matt is not Paul

Where does Jesus >> VIA PAUL<< teach that 'performance' is a Heaven entry requirement ?
Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Performance is not necessary a deed, but righteous performance falling short of labors is acceptable. So where do you disagree? Be more specific!

Matthew might as well be Paul, because Paul doesn't undermine the law with Jesus, but rather says the believers should imitate him.

You have to perform trust in God. I don't like your definition of 'performance' but it is in quotes.
