If I'm a Baptist, or a Shi'itte, or an Orthodox, do I get into the 'Holy Place' at the exclusion of others? Or do I just have to be a Christion, Muslim, or a Jew?

None of the above. No religion has a trademark on 'correct'.

Jesus Christ alone holds the key to Heaven. And the ONLY way you can get there is to surrender your life fully to Him and put all your faith in Him. Which denomination of Christian you are doesn't matter as long as you fully understand and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

according to Islam
Muslims will enter heaven
& the early Jews who believed in Moses as a prophet of god
also the early Christians who believed in Jesus as a prophet & that god is one
or the Unitarians today (if they didn`t hear about Islam)
all those most probably will enter heaven (if they repented from their sins)

I believe it's St Peter who holds the keys of heaven, and his successors the popes, the keys were given by Christ.

if you believe that God is somehow limited to a certain category of belief, then maybe you should try to expand your ideas about God.
God created the universe and every particle of matter within it, including you, and every other human, and every particle is sustained by God.
I think God is smart enough not to care what people 'believe', God always will be God no matter what people believe.

You have to exclude others. The club is always exclusive and you have to have your sect. Theirs is the out-sect and yours is the insect; annoying, something others want to swat and always the only one chosen of god until death do us part.

You have to also be righteous.
Quran 025.015
Say: "Is that best, or the eternal garden, promised to the righteous? for them, that is a reward as well as a goal (of attainment).

Prayer is the key to Heaven but Faith unlocks the door.
But, Jesus is the way..............
