The salvation provided by Jesus doesn't depend on the doctrine of Original Sin. At least, not in the traditional sense. What it depends on is the existence of sin, and the need for salvation from it.  We need Jesus because we are not capable of saving ourselves. That incapability of saving ourselves from sin need not come from some ancestral inheritance - except in the sense of our nature as finite creatures.
There have been many Christians who do not subscribe to the doctrine of Original Sin, even including some evangelicals.
