Christ called the Gospel the kingdom of God which has a much deeper impact, vision, and meaning than salvation as most important. If what you say were true Christ would have said what you did instead his main focus and mention was toward the kingdom of God.
The accept part is Protestant, the life of obedience isn't. Given how the Apostles marveled at the mercy of God to die for us, I think its true that it is a very important part that Christ died for us.
The follow on though, is a choice to serve our risen King.
We are saved, we are being saved and we will be saved.
Protestants teach that nothing can separate you from God, not even yourself.
Anabaptists teach that nothing anyone else can do will separate you from God, but you can deny God and turn away either though little choices leading to defilement or bold defiance.
When talking Protestant theology versus Anabaptist theology, it gets sticky as the Anabaptists taught quite a variety of things... so did the Protestants.
Generally we are referring to one of the 5 points of Calvinism as being Protestant theology.
