Rajk999, anything you want to say before I get started with my analysis of your points on Luke 10:25-28 ?
Let me say from the outset. I believe that the Bible is infallible. I do not believe that all my interpretations of the Bible are infallible.
I will present my feeling about how Luke 10:25-28 should be understood in context. I will fairly include arguments for and listen to arguments contrary to the interpretation I think is good.

Here is the question: Will you tell me even one scripture in context that says a person who performs good works will be given eternal life.
Here is my answer: Well there are many but, here is one and its from Jesus Christ:
And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. (Luke 10:25-28 KJV)
Let me repeat :
Love God and your neighbour as yourself = Eternal Life
