Acts 02:38 and 04:12 - Why is it impossible to be saved without Jesus?

In Hebrew, the name “Jesus” (ישוע) means “save” (יושיע). So it would be impossible to be “saved” (יושיע) without using the name of “Jesus” (ישוע).

Matthew 01:21 “And she will give birth to a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”

Acts 02:38 “Repent!” Peter [said] to them, “and be baptized every one of you on the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 04:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
