I’m not perfect by any means and am working to overcome a few problems that are not insignificant, but after what I’ve learned here and through Q, if God grades on the curve, I’m on pretty damned good shape to get into heaven or atleast in adjacent community.

I agree. Repenting of sins is important, but it is not part of receiving eternal life. We just believe or put faith in Jesus Christ to receive eternal life from him.
John 11:25 "Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”"
John 5:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life."
Turning from sin saves us from God's Fatherly discipline on Earth and allows us to be useful for Jesus on Earth, so that we can receive rewards from him in eternity.
1 Cor 11:31-32 "But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world."
John 6:37 “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out."
