Just a correction there. If you are referring to what scripture teaches in the Bible it doesn't have anything to do with if someone is worthy enough or not to enter into heaven. It actually states that nobody is worthy, because everyone is born "into sin". Everyone's nature is to do evil whether its someone who lies, steals, murders, hates, blasphemes God's name, or has lustful thoughts, ect. So if you are referring to Biblical teachings, then nobody is worthy to be with God, because everyone is born with that "sin nature". Everyone is guilty. Its only thru faith in Jesus of the Bible that one is "worthy". Essentially letting Jesus's worthiness being sinless to be the only way to God. So in other words you could have someone who seems to be the most loving, kind, giving, and righteous person, but if they don't accept (trust in) what Jesus did for them then for them its eternal separation from God. But you could have the most hateful, murderous type person to ever walk the earth be able to trust in Jesus's payment and then be granted eternal life with God. The main focus of the Bible is not about what mankind can do to be worthy, but about God being the intercessor to save man from their deserved fate.
Just wanted to clear that up since it seems you are talking about Biblical teachings. In accordance to that no one who has ever lived or will live will be worthy except the Jesus of Nazareth who was the attonement on the cross for man's sin nature.
