[Fair enough. I tend to take the Bible a bit more literally when it says, “For whosoever believeth in Him.”]

But that is EXACTLY the problem. Joseph Smith is ALSO considered a gatekeeper. Moreover, to Mormons, even Christ can’t fully absolve you of your sins, it is a religion based on works (that’s why all the squeaky clean Mormons, they have to be to get Temple recommends and get into heaven, and then become Gods of their own). Moreover, which “Him” do they believe in? Cause there are questions about the trinity and other factors. There is also a sub debate about whether Adam was a God who gave seed to humans, so Jesus isn’t necessarily even in the loop.

No Mormon church or Temple has a cross on it, think about that one for a while.

I don't know if you're unintentionally ignorant about the actual beliefs of Mormons, or if you've been terribly mislead, or if you're just telling a pack of lies. What I do know is that nothing you've posted above is accurate about the actual beliefs of Mormons.
