Are you saying that non believers, those who do not believe in Jesus are saved?

''Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.'
' - Romans 10:9

What happens if you don't? It makes no difference?

''Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'' - John 14:6

''No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.'' - John 6:44

What if you have no belief in this? Are you exempt?

Are you claiming that it makes no difference whether you believe or not?

What about this? ---- ''Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.'' Mark 16:16

Does it not mean what it says? Does it mean the opposite, that you are saved regardless of not believing?

Nothing of the sort. Consider the implications of the verse above.
