You have to perform trust in God.
Trust is a mind thing
Can you open a door with your mind ? No, you use "performance' to do that

1 Cor 15:1-4, Eph 1:13 is how we are saved, justified & HS sealed
Sorry but any thought can be a potential performance. Do you understand?

I believe Jesus is the Word made flesh
John 1:14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
There is not just one word. Words are not Gods, how that most gods do not inform.

[Tit 3:5 KJV] – 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;
We are all dead in body, thus no one can salvage themself. And they rescued by God's mercy, and ported like Enoch. We are not so lucky.

[Rom 3:28 KJV] – 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
The correction of the law does nothing, but trust in God with fear works wonders.

[Gal 2:16 KJV] – 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.
Same as above really. Works of the law means law enforcement. Only faith justifies.

We today are rescued (saved, justified, HSsealed) by trusting & believing the saving gospel that Jesus Gal 1:11-12 taught to Paul
That gospel is 1 Cor 15:1-4, Eph 1:13 :)

It is not the size of the deed but the amount of faith. Same thing.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; not of works, lest anyone should boast.” (Eph 2:8–9)
But we are not safe or saved in the afterlife yet. Only through death do we become sons of the God.

This one feels like it is the past, and not the right moment.

Luke 20:36 “nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection." That is after death. The afterlife or after-punishments are not guaranteed that way in this lifetime.

You are wrong
This one = now :)

KJV:-
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Where did Jesus teach that Luke teaches MB how to be saved ?
List the verses :)

You are lacking proof; and you don't have the permanent life, and you are not rescued. The verse has nothing to do with the afterlife.
Works and faith cannot alert a dead man, but God can.

[Luk 20:27-40 NKJV] – 27 Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to [Him] and asked Him, 28 saying: "Teacher, Moses wrote to us [that] if a man's brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 29 "Now there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and died without children. 30 "And the second took her as wife, and he died childless. 31 "Then the third took her, and in like manner the seven also; and they left no children, and died. 32 "Last of all the woman died also. 33 "Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife does she become? For all seven had her as wife." 34 Jesus answered and said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 "But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; 36 "nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. 37 "But even Moses showed in the [burning] bush [passage] that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord 'the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' 38 "For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him." 39 Then some of the scribes answered and said, "Teacher, You have spoken well." 40 But after that they dared not question Him anymore.
