Gee, Monica, I dunno. Burning cookies is some pretty serious stuff. It looks like the all-knowing God knew in advance you would seriously repent of your heinous actions, ao "he" stepped in and miraculously made the burned cookies turn out well anyway. You probably ought to do some sort of prayer and penance at least.

IMHO salvation is like the kingdom of God that Jesus said is among us. It is a way of living here and now, and has nothing to do with reward or punishment. I agree with you on the God of revelation, and also on the vacuous notion of salvation and the need for priests. I get more help from the folks than they do from me, but that might be just my problem. I think we priests serve a functional need for some folks, while other don't need us so much.  For several years my spiritual director was a buddhist nun. I was coming back from a stroke, and learned a lot. 

But then if we limit salvation to only after death, the Gospel doesn't impact our daily living so much.
