The thief on the cross knew little of “doctrine” but he knew enough of Jesus to be saved.
Sorry to be pedantic, but that's not something we know. He could have been a follower who "fell off the wagon" so to speak. Or who was being punished for crimes committed before he came to Christ.
I don’t know about that…. The thief cursed God…. Then offered up a confession of his own personal sin…. Then asked Jesus…. directly….to remember him when Jesus came into his kingdom….seems like a confession of faith to me.
Yep, seems like he knew enough about Jesus to be saved but knew nothing of what was to be written in the New Testament.

The tax collector said: “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Jesus said he went home “justified.”
