Saying that an individual needs a certain set of beliefs to get into heaven needs a bit of nuance to it. Although according to Christians Baptism is necessary for salvation, that does not mean a ritual in a church is necessary. Perhaps the best example is that of the good thief in the Gospel, who reforms his life. These actions are what brings the person to God.
