You can say that but must know it goes against Scripture; not one time is Jesus identified as YHWH.
Not one time does Scripture state believing Jesus is God is a prerequisite to salvation.
you are well wrong on both. But will you even listen to what the Bible says?
In Malachi 3:1, we have YHWH as the Speaker
“Behold, I send My messenger, and he will prepare the Way before Me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the Messenger of the Covenant, whom you desire, behold, He comes!” says Yahweh of Armies"
Read very carefully what this says. Yahweh says that He is sending His messenger to prepare the Way before Him. Which means that Yahweh was Himself Coming. In the Gospels we read that Jesus Christ quotes this verse, as in Matthew 11:10, where, instead of the corresponding Greek to the Hebrew, "μου" (Me), Jesus changes the pronoun to "σου" (You). If you know Greek grammar, this means that Jesus here makes Himself the Speaker of Malachi 3:1, "Yahweh of Armies", and speaks of His own Coming as Yahweh, and makes John the Baptist as the one who prepared the Way before Him. This is also in Mark 1:1-3, and Luke 7:27. How could Jesus make this change to the Prophecy in Malachi, which is about Yahweh, and apply it to Himself, if He is not Yahweh? This is very clear evidence that Jesus Christ Himself says that He is YHWH!
On the second point about Jesus being God as necessary for salvation, this is what Jesus Himself says:
"Therefore I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I AM you will die in your sins.” (John 8:24)
The Jews clearly understood what Jesus means here, by their reaction to stone Him to death, for what the heard Him say in verse 58, "πριν αβρααμ γενεσθαι εγω ειμι", "before Abraham even existed, I AM", which is without doubt reference to "I AM that I AM" in Exodus 3:14, which is also Spoken by Jersus Christ. To deny that Jesus Christ is The Great I AM. Almighty God, YHWH, which is what He is saying in John 8:24, will cause that person to be lost forever in hell. They cannot enter into Heaven
