That's not how christianity works.
Isn't it?
So here's a question, according to christian theology, can one get into heaven while knowing about christianity and not being a christian?

That's not how christianity works.
Christianity is a way of life. There are two paths in life, the good and the bad. The good path is followed default by all people. It is God's path. All people follow God's path. But God obeyed Satan, his faithful angel, to tempt people to follow the bad path. So although all people follow god's path, they have the power to follow the evil path. This happens to all people. All people are good and they have the power to perform evil. An eskimo can become a murderer. A christian can become a murderer. We are all the same. An eskimo who hasn't heard of Jesus, so what? An eskimo can murder without knowing Jesus, so what? He followed the evil path. An eskimo who helps others, without knowing Jesus. So what? He follows the good path. The good path (God's path) is default for all people. The evil path is the exception.Isn't it?

If they are not relevant to other Abrahamic religions.

What does it mean being a christian???You didn't actually answer my question. A simple "yes" or "no" would suffice.

The Inuits already knew the golden rule-- and their culture did a far better job obeying it than any christian based one you care to name...
So there's that.
What does it mean being a christian???
The question of God and sin are not congruent: one can be taught what Christ said or Bahaulluah said about sin but that could be very different from what God may think or even prescribe. As far as my knowledge is concerned, God never ever said that there are sins. How could He if He was the creator.So, Why?
.
This is way over generalized.
Its not about labels. God dont look at labels of christian or hindu or whatever. He looks at who obeys the golden rule.
Also to say christians have done a bad job, again, thats under an unbrella label. Theres about 2.19 billion "christians" in the world. But, are they all TRUELY christians ACORDING to Jesus? I know you dont believe in Jesus, but walk with me here for a second. Dont you think Jesus has a pretty big say on who are his true followers? Id think so.
There is no answer for that in theology.So, is being a christian a requirement to get to heaven or not?
I'm an atheist, aware of christianity and not a believer or follower.
Is it possible for me to get to heaven if I die this instant, according to christian theology?
So where is there an answer for that questions?There is no answer for that in theology.
So, Why?
Not sure which question you mean but I replied to the latter. And no one has an answer to that except God.So where is there an answer for that questions?
So, Why?
.
Then what's the problem?
Ironic how it accomplished the opposite.religion was made to stop evil.
Ironic how it accomplished the opposite.
Eskimos knew about sin and are not spiritual-lessSo, Why?

More like blaming the manual of the knife that states to put it in someone's back.As blaming the knife.
