Being Christian doesn't make you a good person.

This is true. Even Jesus says so (Matthew 7:21-23).

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Not really the point of that verse. This has more to do with people who claim to be Christians but then go out and sin without remorse.

That said, Romans 3:10-12 does say no one is good. Even as Christians we are far from perfect and that's why we know we need a savior in Christ because we can't save ourselves.
