> is to believe that Jesus died for your sins and through accepting Jesus (not through works)

This is true in much of mainline Protestant Christianity, but it's less clear cut in the Catholic and Orthodox branches or in some of the hard-to-categorize groups (Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, etc). They still emphasize that it's only through Christ you can be saved, but they place varying degrees of emphasis on what you should be doing and why.

None I'm aware of says anything about heaven points through suffering, though.
