This is what I was taught as well. But the Bible seems to be say that belief in Jesus as God is salvation.
Does "extra" beliefs disqualify salvation? I would think no.
Edit: As a Calvinist I know belief in Jesus is given from the father. The extra stuff is human addition. Does not seem to me able to override God's will.

Belief in "Jesus as savior" is an awfully low bar. Paul of Samasota, Marcion, Valentinus, Arius, Sabellius, Pelagius, Novatian, Donatus, Eunomius, Macedonius, Photinus, Apollinaris, Priscillian, Iovinian, Celestius, Nestorius all scoot over this bar.

21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

This is fair from your perspective. But interestingly I've heard Jews say the same thing about Christians.

Why is that surprising? Most non-Christians in America were raised in a Christian households.

You're right. I forgot that the non-Christians on this forum were experts on all things Christian!
