What could be clearer than the message he sent? You are trying to clarify it for a 3 month old baby, but you are not a 3 month old baby, you are an adult who can understand that you are a sinner (even if you do good deeds) and that a holy God wants nothing to do with sin and therefore requires it be removed from our lives and to that end, by his Grace he has provided a way: the death of Jesus, the Messiah. Believe that, have faith in God and you are on the path to salvation.
If the objective for salvation was clear, the fate of the 3-month-old would be easily known. That is my entire point. Again....
- grace alone (all are now ultimately already saved in the end)
- grace by faith (some level of belief/trust in Him is required, presumably prior to death)
- grace by works (what we do, while either believing Him not at all, a little, or a lot?)
- some necessary combo platter (how much of each IS necessary, if any)
