Is it absolutely required for people to believe in the deity of Jesus to be called Christians?

The more I study scripture the more I realise that all those proof texts for the deity of Christ can also be interpreted in another way that points more in the direction that Jesus is an Elohim but not YHWH. John's gospel for example makes it very clear that when Jews accused Jesus of making himself to be God, they actually refer to Elohim and not YHVH because he immediately quotes from psalm 82:6 where it says "“I said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’". As we know, even Moses was called an Elohim and this word is also used to describe people in an exalted position like judges and princes. Since the Greek doesn't differentiate between the different expressions used for God it is often difficult to exactly know what this word is referring to which gives rise to different interpretations that equally can be justified to be true. To me it makes much more sense to see Jesus as an exalted person rather than him being the almighty God. This appears to me much more in harmony with the TeNaCh (Old Testament) which also uses the Hebrew word Elohim when in Isaiah it prophecies about the Messiah. My question however is, can someone who doesn't believe in the deity of Christ still be called a Christian, or does Christianity stipulate that you are only saved if you believe that Jesus is God Almighty?
