No, not really. If you have reasoned for yourself that you really believe that Jesus died on the cross and that is your salvation, then you have worked out for yourself how you will be saved. It doesn't necessarily mean that you do anything but decide how you will be enlightened, and if your enlightenment comes through Jesus, then that's where it comes from.
