Eg - what is required to be saved?

Is it solely faith - saying something like the Sinner’s Prayer and “giving your heart to Jesus”? Or do works/sacraments matter? Or is there universal reconciliation?

What about those who die in ignorance of Jesus and don’t get the opportunity?

    What role is Jesus’s death playing in salvation then? Is the idea that his sacrifice is such a powerful gift that it can’t be rejected?

      Jesus was an example. He showed us what we could be, how we could treat each other. His death was a willing sacrifice, showing us the power of compassion, courage, and conviction. We are saved by emulating those qualities, by practicing compassion even when it comes as a personal cost.

      I don’t get behind the get-out-of-hell free interpretation. Jesus didn’t die to give a sweetheart deal to sinners, he died to show the power of turning away from sin.
