I’ve heard it argued from the opposite angle. It’s not that God rewards you for good deeds. It’s that the kind of people God rewards happen to be genuinely selfless people who would do good deeds even if they didn’t benefit. (I think this is what Calvinists believe.)

That may be the case; I'm not really familiar enough with the details of Calvinist soteriology to say for sure, but it does sound like it's in the same ballpark as the whole predestination dealio.

Yep, that's Calvinism. If you're a good person you just naturally want to do all these good things - your deeds reveal what kind of person you are. You can't earn salvation or improve your soul by good deeds. If you do bad things (or just don't do good things) obviously that shows what kind of person you are, too.
