Step 2 is to realize that there is a penalty for your sin.
"For the wages of sin is death"
Romans 6:23a

Step 3 is to acknowledge that Christ paid the penaly of sin for you.
"But God commendeth his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8

Step 4 is to acknowledge that Christ wants to give you the free gift of eternal life in heaven.
"but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"
Romans 6:23b

Step 5 is that you must believe in Christ and ask Him to be your Savior.
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"
Romans 10:13

Salvation is trusting and receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior. It's trusting in the fact that Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary to pay for your sins! It's realizing there is absolutely nothing whatsoever you can do to save yourself and completely trusting in Jesus Christ to save you! It's not any church that saves. It's not baptism, not good works, not sacraments, not repenting, not praying through, not enduring to the end, not living a good life — IT'S NOT ANYTHING YOU CAN DO!

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God:
NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9

Now isn't that plain? NOT OF YOURSELVES. . . NOT OF WORKS. . .

HOW TO BE SAVED?

Pray this prayer, and mean it with all your heart.

Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and unless you save me I am lost forever. I thank you for dying for me at Calvary and paying for my sins. I come to you now, Lord, just as You said in Your Word, the best way I know how, and ask you to save me. I now receive you as my Savior. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen.

If you just prayed that prayer — according to the Word of God — YOU ARE SAVED! HALLELUJAH!

You say, but I don't feel any different. Guess what? Your salvation does not depend on your feeling. It ALL depends on doing what God SAID!

God said if you receive and trust in Jesus Christ you are saved. Notice it does NOT say you "might" or "could" be saved — but "shall be saved". YOU ARE SAVED!

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord SHALL BE SAVED.
Romans 10:13

Didn't you just believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? Look at what John 3:36 says! It says you HATH EVERLASTING LIFE! Not "maybe" or "hope so" — BUT HATH — YOU ARE SAVED!

He that believeth on the Son HATH EVERLASTING LIFE: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 3:36

Friend, if you prayed the prayer and received Jesus Christ — YOU ARE SAVED! You did what God said — AND GOD CANNOT LIE!

In hope of eternal life, which God, THAT CANNOT LIE, promised before the world began;
Titus 1:2

One final note:  if you prayed this prayer to be saved, follow the Lord in baptism!

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:3

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 
Acts 2:38
