i don't know about the list, or 'mandatory',
but it pays (do to the extreme and permanent cost) to look into what Scripture says, what Yhwh says,
is true about His people. vs what is true about pagans.
the description Yhwh gives of His people, is very different from all others.
and it can be quite a lengthy list(description).
just like a description of a living body, vs a description of a dead body. there are some similarities, and there are some big differences.
so too, between a dead person, and a living person -- there are some similarities(maybe many), and there are some(maybe many) differences.
noting the differences doesn't change a dead person to a living person,
noting the differences doesn't change a living person to a dead person.
the world can't tell the difference most of the time anyway, even when shown, even when someone comes back from the dead to show/tell them.
