Does Jesus really prefer someone who believes in him but lives a terribly unethical life? Or would he prefer someone who does not believe in him but lives an ethical, charitable life?
That’s not really how it works. Yes, faith alone saves you. But God is all-knowing. If you go around murdering people, all the while telling yourself you believe in God, he can see through that to know it wasn’t real faith. Because if it was, you would repent for your sins and try to stop murdering people.(or not even start in the first place)

You don’t think at least one of those thousands of child molesting priests actually believes in God? Would God prefer a child molesting priest that believes in God or an atheist who devotes his life to taking care of children?
