Christians (well, some, anyway, Christian is a rather broad term) believe that Jesus died so that we (sinners) might have a better opportunity to enter heaven. Believing in him and through his teachings and works becoming able to receive God's grace allows one entry into heaven. Christ didn't die so that some of us might enter heaven. Christ died to save us from our sins, to cloak us in His righteousness and transform us . He also promised us that He has provided a place for us, near Him.

Forgiveness of sin, only comes through Christ, and is amazing in and of itself.

Now I think it is obvious that while all sin is forgiven though Christ, that some who have no knowledge of Christ can still hvea their sins forgiven (Christ can remove your sins even if you don't know of His existence), but there is some argument about this.
