Revelation 22:12 — "repaying each one for what he has done" does not teach levels of heaven or works-based salvation
I've Been Looking Into The Hebrew Roots Movement and Here's What I've Found So Far

Q&A: questioner asks whether Revelation 22:12 implies different levels or places in heaven based on works.
Mike reads Revelation 22:12-14 and notes the passage does not use "levels" language. He interprets the recompense as: (1) punishment for the wicked outside of Christ, and (2) heavenly rewards for believers. He draws on 1 Corinthians to note that some believers will be saved "as through fire" — with no accumulated rewards — yet still saved. The rewards are secondary to salvation, not conditions for it. Entry requires having "washed your robes" (cleansed by the blood of the Lamb), not accumulation of works.
