re: “The ‘church’ never tells you how you are saved.”
I don’t know which church you are refering to, but your statement is false. There are several Christian denominations that teach how the individual is saved - check out the Reformation and Martin Luther for just one example of salvation by God’s grace through faith in Christ alone. Read up more on church history - your about 500 years behind.
But that philosophy has to be based on the Bible, not on the opinion’s of men.
