You are embellishing the truth. You cannot even be saved by standards of both Russian Eastern Ortodox Church and Catholicism at once.
I am not even sure whether you should ascribe divine nature to Jesus - Christianity is not united even in this question.
So yes, bet-hedging will still give quite perverted result.
That doesn't strike me as a practical definition of 'Christianity'. Even most of the mutually incompatible Christian sects would agree that not ascribing divine nature to Jesus would disqualify them from even a heretical Christian sect. "Folks who believe Jesus was divine' would be a reasonable description of what the word "Christian" means.
We-ell. Judaism is OK with a other-than-human-but-not-God angel evicting Adam and Eve. Jehova's Witnesses are a Christian sect, but they ascribe Jesus a position higher than humans and angels but strictly lower than God.
