I would be willing to bet that my interpretation of that verse is different than yours.
I don’t doubt it.
My point is only that Jesus was pretty explicit in telling how to be saved. Further, Paul admonished those who added their own requirements to “get to Heaven” in Galatians.
Today, lots of people try to make the Bible and Christ fit their own desires and lifestyles. Often, it requires tearing out a lot of pages of scripture. (I am not saying you are doing this)
