Romans 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law 13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; 14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) 16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

You can't have real faith without works, deeds and fruit

A knowledge which will witness against them in the day of judgement
John 5:45-47
V-15 their thoughts accusing or else excusing
1 Tim 4:2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,
Eph 4:17-19.
