Jesus states you must believe in him to be saved, not an institution.

If Jesus is who he claimed to be, we as his followers are obligated to follow his teachings.

Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation.337
