Matthew 25

Matthew 25:46
These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
 It just popped into my head that there's a potential problem with this verse.  It seems to be implying that our actions will determine whether or not we get into Heaven.  But isn't Christ's blood supposed to save us, no matter our actions here?

I realize that we're supposed to be becoming more Christ-like, but what about those who come to faith at the last moment?  They have no opportunity to improve upon their past misdeeds, so how will they be allowed if this is the standard?  Or does this only apply to those before Christ's death, and it's based on the old Mosaic Law?
