In Christianity, how does someone get into Heaven?

There is a schism between those that say good works will get you there and those that say worshipping God gets you there. 

I personally think it has to do with living a life of compassion and integrity, a just God would reward people for being good whether they believed in him or not.

Interestingly I follow Christianity not for the reward of an afterlife (although I would like that of course), but for the improvements in my life I can make here and now, in a way I am making my own heaven, which I think is part of what Christianity teaches as spiritual development.

EDIT:

Which of course means I did not vote as I believe it is deeds alone, a just god wold not condemn you to hell if your life was perfect except that you did not believe.
