Are you still saved if you believe in the wrong things about Jesus?

IMO if one values one's job (for example) over detesting a coworker, then it still leads to a sense of satisfaction to work with the detestable coworker.

That has nothing to do with the character of the relationship, which is the point you had made. You're trying to move the goalpost.

I see "loving your enemies" as a way of consciously manipulating one's mind to substituting a more skillful emotion (e.g. love) for unskillful emotions (bitterness/anger/etc).

Yea, it’s denying the natural desire for eye for an eye and taking a divine(supernatural) way of unconditional love.

I think we’re using different language to explain the same thing

For example, let's say you believe in 99% of the things you're "supposed to" about Jesus. But that 1% are errors, e.g. wrong ideas about his death/sacrifice; wrong ideas about his mission; wrong ideas about the responsibilities of the disciple; or, even wrong ideas about his name & its pronunciation, or any other detail about him.

If yes, you believe you're still saved, then at what percentage are you unsaved? 98% true beliefs? 75%? 49%? 1%?

Interesting question.

If one believes his name is Bill, is that acceptable? If ones thinks he died in Athens or was stoned to death, is that acceptable?

If a person believes his name was Pedro and he was shot in a drug war in Mexico in 2000, could one be saved by trusting Pedro as his savior?

If a person believes his name is osiris, and he is a "green-skinned deity with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive crown with two large ostrich feathers at either side, and holding a symbolic crook and flail," (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris ) can he trust osiris as his saviour?

How far is too far off?
