If I follow the rules and stop being a degenerate will my life improve based on objective external metrics of success?

I think it is perfectly compatible with a good life but the most robust Christianity will not necessarily make you popular or successful, and to an extent is intended to do the opposite.

"Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

I talking about the outcomes of the moral system. Why should I not have sex with prostitutes, for example?

That's my point. Youre suggesting following Christian morality leads to better life outcomes. Unless your taking exclusively about mental sickness

The maximizing "life outcomes" approach you're taking here has got me apoplectic.

The correct answer is to look to Jesus’ life.

Paul called the Cross the stumbling block for conversion.

I meant holding happiness constant. so compare two people that have the same happiness level but one is christian and one is not. does the christian ethic produce better outcomes relative to a secular ethic irrespective of happiness?

Honestly, I think long-term happiness is the point. I don't think you can view outcomes without asking yourself whether it produces actual happiness.

Christianity literally gets you to Heaven. I'd say that's a decent life outcome.
