That is so wrong. The only thing necessary to come to Christ is a contrite heart and belief in His promises. Period. Any obstacles you throw in the way of people coming to Christ are not of God
You keep bringing Jesus into the equation. There's classes, ceremonies, rules, memorized responses and a whole lot of other things to belong to THE ONE and ONLY HOLY CHURCH.

Were you at the first Pentecost and know this for a fact?
People re-”married” without the benefit of annulment may and even should come to the Holy Liturgy or participate with devotions public or private. They may not, however, receive the Eucharist.
"Belief in his promises"? Like when he said you have to eat his flesh and drink his blood to have his life within you? Doesn't that require some obedience on our part?
How about when he told his Apostles "whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven; whose sins you retain, they are retained"? Sounds like a grant of authority to me.
Or the most important one, "You are 'rock' and upon this 'rock' I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it". That's a grant of authority right there.
All the answers are in the Bible, huh? I've read the Bible. It's a Catholic book. We collected it and we preserved it, as even Luther admitted.
