salamu `alaykum

There are never just the two extremes of acceptability and rejection. There is a whole shade of gray in between the two.

The general principle as established from the Prophetic narrations is that one will be rewarded bi qadri niyyatihi.

Thus, one can intend to pray to save himself from the fire, and he will be rewarded for doing so mainly because fear of the fire primarily arises because Allah has warned us of its tortures and torments in His book and through His Messenger. Yet the one who worships Allah only for the sake of worshipping Him - since He is worthy of all worship - is at a higher level (maqam). Yet, both are accepted in Allah's eyes, inshaAllah.

Similar is the case with what you mentioned.
