"then it would indeed seem possible to game the system."
To what purpose?
That would be like cheating on the math test, the grade would be meaningless and you didn't really learn anything.
The object of life isn't a "game" at least not in Christianity; it's "partaking in the divine nature"; the Theosis of man that is the goal.
"Enjoy all your hedonistic pursuits, then go and confess and sincerely seek forgiveness."
If one believes that salvation is merely having "Not Guilty" stamped on your file, I suppose so. But if the goal is to really "finish the race" (as St. Paul called it) then you have to roll up your spiritual sleeves and get to work cleaning up the mess.
