So would you say believing christ was risen from the dead because he died for our sins is required for salvation?

Not necessarily. We believe that there may be possibility for salvation for non Christians as well.   

Quote:I am very unfamiliar with what catholics believe if all that is required for salvation is "grace"

The opposite of being in a state of grace means being in a state of mortal sin. Being in a state of mortal sin means that you have committed a serious sin with full consent of the will and full knowledge that in doing so, you are deliberately turning away from God. Since we can't know a person's thoughts and motives, we cannot say who is and is not in a state of mortal sin, and thus, we can't say who is and is not going to Hell.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
