Christians nowadays know very little about pagan religion. They may know scriptures about pagan religion but not knowing that these scriptures are referring to pagan religion. The arguments of Protestant leaders and thinkers centuries ago that only certain truths are “essential to salvation” might have applied back then when pagan religions and witchcraft were still around, but nowadays you need to know a bit more than just scripture if you want to understand salvation. Otherwise you will end up knowing scriptures about how to be saved but have no idea what they mean.
