Heaven is for people who have been converted and consecrated themselves to God. It is impossible to be consecrated while living in willful rebellion. Therefore, I do believe that standards of holiness are salvific in that they are necessary in order to live a life of holiness, and holiness and sanctification are essential aspects of salvation. I do not believe they are salvific in and of themselves, however.
