Nope.Maybe so but there's more to salvation than meets the eye
"Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved", Acts 16:31.
"If you declare with your mouth 'Jesus is Lord' and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" Romans 10:9.
"No one comes to the Father except by me", John 14:6.
"My Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life", John 6:40.
"The work of God is this; to believe in the One he has sent", John 6:29.
No mention at all of flat earth there.
Jesus saves - nothing else.
No you don't - you just need to ask them what they think of Jesus.besides, first you have to get the none believers to understand the Lord & his words in order for them to become saved,
A good man? Was he deluded when he claimed to be the only Way to God?
A good teacher? Did he lie when he claimed to be the only Way to God and the only one who could give eternal life?
A deluded man, liar and blasphemer? So why did God say "This is my Son, listen to him" and raise him from the dead?
Teach someone about Jesus, what he claimed and what he taught - and then ask that person if they believe it and want a relationship with God.and what better way is there but teach someone the truth about creation, where they live. the sun, moon and the stars.
Talking about creation is not the best way to start with an unbeliever - it's too distracting. They may well ask about evolution/when did the dinosaurs die/why do some Christians claim the earth is only a few thousand years old when scientists say it is millions of years?
Even if you have answers for all of those questions, and more, the conversation may focus on science/fossils/evolution etc etc. None of that will save them, so you don't need to talk about it.
Focus on Jesus, the cross, God's love and that he accepts that person and is waiting to forgive them. THAT is what will save them, nothing else.
If you believe someone may be going to hell you ask "Jesus can save you, will you trust him?" Not, "did you know that the earth is flat? If you believe that, you can believe in God and be saved".
Which does not teach a flat earth.You'd be surprised just how many flat earthers have come to the Lord just by reading Genesis 1.
Nor does it teach salvation, forgiveness of sins, reconciliation to God etc etc. No one needed to be reconciled to God in Genesis 1 because no one had sinned then.
