Do we need the crucifixion of Christ for salvation

Do we really need a process of redemption and crucifixion in order for sins to be forgiven ???
The answer is no, because there are many people whose sins were forgiven hundreds of years before Christ came. For example, the Bible tells us:

2Chronicles - Chapter 7 :

14. if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.


Psalms - Chapter 85

1. To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. LORD, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.

2. You forgave the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah.

________________

O Christian , You may say that God forgave some people in life, but after death they were locked up in the prison of hell until Christ came and saved them from that prison

But I will tell you a story from the Bible and this story Jesus told himself before he was crucified:

Luke - Chapter 16 :

19. {cf6 "There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.}

20. {cf6 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,} 21. {cf6 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.}

22. {cf6 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried,}

23. {cf6 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side.}

24. {cf6 And he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.'}

25. {cf6 But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.}

Did you notice that Lazarus was relaxing after his death, as the Bible says?

This indicates that Lazarus who was Good  , was blessed after his death and was not imprisoned in Hell Prison

But only that rich person who was wicked , was imprisoned in the prison of hell, and this indicates that there is no absolute need for Jesus to go to Hell to bring good people out, as the Bible says in some places
