I think they are linked together, fruit and righteousness...
Philippians 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Ephesians 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth
James 3:17-18
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

So yes heaven is for righteousness only, but we can not produce righteousness of ourself.
Only if we abide in Him we bear the fruit of righteousness
