This is the only thing I really disagree with from where you are coming from. Christianity is not that exceptional among world religions in terms of the nature of salvation or rules or lack thereof and Christians need to stop perpetuating misconceptions like that if they want to be ernest and forthcoming.
I am curious about what you define as "true" Christianity? Every religion in every form and iteration preached or worshiped by every person often claims it is the true religion. Is a Christian conservative redneck zealot in Alabama not going to recieve the same salvation as someone who worships "true" Christianity whatever it is that you are trying to convey?
