Is a righteous gentile saved?

Death just for that? It is not treason or serious violent crimes against society to keep the Sabbath the same way Jews do. What is the reason for that?

I think it's because the death penalty comes for things where a person has compeltely corrupted his misison in the world, so his life has gone so wrong that he has to go. The purpose of the Noahide is to WORK and settle the world, making it a good moral and productive place EVERY DAY. To keep the world functioning while the Jews do their job on the Shabbos.
If the gentile is acting like the Jew and resting on Shabbos, while not keeping the world moving during that time then he's totally corrupted his mission in this world, and there's pretty much no more need for him here.
Shlomo:
I have always wondered about this. But didn't G-d tell Adam to rest on the Sabbath and Adam wasn't a Jew? I need to look that up. Maybe He just rested and didn't tell Adam.
Lubab:
Yes but that was before the division between Jew and Noahide.

Does that mean goyim have to work 7 days/week?
