 Tit 3:4 ESV But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, Tit 3:5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, Tit 3:6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,  Tit 3:7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

 Rom 4:5 And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, Rom 4:6 just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: Rom 4:7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; Rom 4:8 blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.”

Joh 3:16  "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Joh 3:17  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Joh 3:18  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:2  He was in the beginning with God. Joh 1:3  All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.  Joh 1:14  And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

No one can be saved by being good.  We are saved by confessing our sin of unbelief and trusting in the blood sacrifice of Jesus on the cross as payment for our sin, and believing in His resurrection from the dead.  Jesus was God in human flesh, God With Us, Immanuel, our Creator and King of Kings, Lord of Lords.

Rom 10:9  because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  Rom 10:10  For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:16, and Acts 16:31 make it clear that the answer is no.

Short Answer. No..

longer answer. as follows..

To be saved a person needs to be saved by Someone else..  That's why we call it being saved... 

We are saved by the Atonement of the LORD Jesus Christ..

His Atonement pays the penalty which is upon all imperfect human beings..

The penalty upon all imperfect human beings is a death sentence.. We call it the second death in the eternal lake of fire..

So it does not matter if one person scores 50% in the, being a good person Olympics, and another persons scores 90% .. Both people need Atonement because neither of them scores 100% The Atonement of the LORD Jesus Christ covers the person who scores 50% the same as it covers the person who scored 90%.. On the day of Judgement they will be both deemed to have a perfect 100% score because they believed Jesus and trusted in the payment Jesus made on the cross for all their transgressions against Gods will..

Christians are saved not because they are good people ..

Christians are saved because they are bad people who have been forgiven..

As Jesus said  ""Only God is Good""
