Revelation 20:13

"The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works." All quotes from NKJV.

From Acts 2:37-38

‘"Men and brethren, what shall we do?

Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ..’.’

If repenting and being baptised are things that people do, are they actions that may be seen as works as per Rev 20:13?

Matthew 22:37

"Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,..".

Though loving God in ones heart is internal it is still doing something. Are the "works" of Rev 20:13 always external , could they be internal?

How might the "works" [Rev 20:13] of "him who does not work" [Romans 4:5] be defined?
