I agree with everything you said, except the last sentence. We don’t need to be saved. We are eternal souls which are on the path to “remember” where they came from, and in the process, experience all that they are. The path to God is beyond good and evil. There is nothing outside of God. There is only God. That is the “short” answer. And that is the only answer. That is beyond doubt, as if there could be anything outside of God, then God would not have the attributes of God: infinite, eternal, all knowing, all that ever existed, exists and will exist.
