That is legalism and perfectionism by definition. It flies in the face of grace. It reduces the gospel to mere moralism. It nullifies the finished work of Christ by adding new conditions to the gift of God which He Himself does not require.

This is so true, and by nullifying the finished work of Christ, how may the perfectionists truly understand what the perfect Son of God has done for us as our human representative? It is because of Him that God imputes to us a perfect holiness. Denying or minimizing our desperate need for this imputed righteousness of Christ inevitably results in one's own spiritual navel gazing, the pursuit of extra-scriptural revelation and often spiritual despair.
