Jesus death paved the way for a FREE gift for us......I would not want to be the one putting up barriers to salvation..........

Worth repeating

Yes, people should continuously be on guard as to what religion and religious folk readily and constantly throw in the paths of others. Junk that confuses, misleads, and acts as stumbling blocks for others. And the intent - even best intentions - doesn't excuse the actions and behaviors. Very simply, people are getting in the way of other's spiritual advancement. That's not something to take lightly.

Nowhere does it say in the Bible that you must believe that God is triune in order to be saved.
Well-stated.

I'd add that a sign of a true believer is one who is willing to learn, and change their opinion on who God is when they are showed that they have it wrong.

On that, we can agree.

No.

“Anyone who hears my word and has faith in the one who sent me possesses eternal life. He does not come under condemnation but has passed from death to life.â€

There are so many gods but there is only one true God. Do you agree with this statement?

Yet, you desire a blood sacrifice to cover your sins?

How do we know the true God? It is quite simple. The true God is not only omnipotent and omnipresent, but He is also omniscient, knowing everything, including what happened in the past and what will happen in the future. Romans 14:12 says, "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."
