Actually Jesus explains exactly why He "Never knew them" in the parts of His Word's that you conveniently omitted. It's just the opposite of what you preach. He didn't reject them because the were doing works. He rejected them for the same reason He rejected the Pharisees. They were doing Works, just not obedient works.
Matt. 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
So Jesus says we need works Decon. "doing God's Will" is a work, Despite your religion and preaching to the contrary.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
They, just like you, have works Decon. Sunday worship, Christmas, feeding random poor people, getting folks off drugs, etc.
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Transgress God's Commandments)
They had works, they were just disobedient to His Fathers Commandments like the Pharisees, the Mainstream Preachers of Christ's time.. I can easily see why you would reject this part of Jesus Word given your constant boasting about your religious traditions.
What is it with you and your apparent dislike for what Jesus actually Says. You did the same thing regarding your preaching that the Pharisees were following God's Laws. You know, you should look into your preaching instead of condemning folks who trust ALL of Jesus Word, not just the parts that can be used to further ancient Catholic traditions.

yes
its as clear as day
all HAVE worked iniquity
but they trusted in their works
and boasted them before Jesus
but He NEVER knew them...
they were NEVER born again
they had no new heart or spirit placed in them
God had never started a good work in them
or else like He promised
He would have continued until the day of Jesus Christ

Philippians 1:6
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Ezekiel 36:26
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

So then to show Him I love Him I must reject His Commandments and created images of God in the likeness of man, create my own Sabbaths, reject His Righteousness, and follow ancient religious tradition? And is I hate Him, I listen to all His Words and strive to walk even as He walked? I don’t know, didn’t Jesus warn about this very teaching
New International Version 1984 Luke 6:46-49 The Wise and Foolish Builders “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
