I hate driving a wedge between denominations but one of my Orthodox friends unironically believes >pic related. Besides having some preposterous elements (like Catholicism being put on the same level as atheists, even though Catholic theology is mostly similar to Orthodoxy), the scaling is cited by him as an excuse for unchristian behavior. My friend's method of "proselytization" to everyone is being extremely obstreperous to everyone he meets, shitposting constantly to get a rise out of people and to boost his own ego. He's completely unconcerned about driving people away because of the way the "scoring" works, as he thinks it inconsequential if someone is driven away by his personality into becoming a total degenerate instead.
How should I talk him out of this or is he deluded enough to be a lost cause?

its just another 'works get ya to heaven' thing. There are countless others doing similar, including all the humanistic views. These people ignore the truth of the Word of God, but that's not new either.
There are so many different scripture verses on this. Maybe read through the first few chapters of Romans for some good places to start. People who think they can measure up to a Holy and Perfect God often don't think about what that actually means. Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God (a book) was/is very effective for pointing that out.

Are all these various sects of christianity just a jewish trick to divide and conquer?
