THE CURRENT TEACHING OF THE MORMON CHURCH:

Christ's death brought release from the grave and universal resurrection. Salvation by grace is universal resurrection. Beyond this, man must earn his place in heaven. Of course this must done through the LDS Church.

"The atonement of Jesus Christ is of a twofold nature, Because of it. all men are redeemed from mortal death and the grave, and will rise in the resurrection to immortality of the soul. Then again, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel, man will receive remission of individual sins, thorough the blood of Christ, and will inherit exaltation in the kingdom of God, which is eternal life."
Doctrines of Salvation, Vol. 1. Pg.123
