don't you wish Jesus were real?

From personal experience it's clear to me that Jesus was and still is real.

Now to the question whether faith alone is the way for Christians to go to heaven, my answer is a clear yes. In my opinion, the idea that Christians need to do certain good deeds or respect sacraments that were defined by human beings in order to go to heaven sort of downplays Jesus' huge sacrifice. Jesus' death and resurrection lose significance if the question whether a human being does a certain number of good deeds and conducts specific sacraments also has an impact on a person's salvation. The good deeds a Christian does are the result of his faith and a sign that someone's faith is alive, but nothing more.

Oh, you met him?

Yes.
I hope you are aware that the words "meet" and "experience" can be used in a metaphorical sense and don't necessarily have to be understood in a way such as "to meet face to face".
