If you have a strong faith you can accept other beliefs
I believe if a person has a strong faith and are happy with their belief they can accept others' beliefs even when they are different than theirs.

If your Faith is in the very nature of Reality-as-is as Infinite Compassion, Infinite Wisdom, Infinite Potential, and that fundamentally it is pure Grace that "saves/enlightens" within a Universalist perspective then it is a simple consequence that all, irrespective of belief, are to be accepted. In a sense, their beliefs become irrelevant, even if wrong.
There is no need to "accept" any belief considered to be false.
EDIT:- for example, if someone's belief is that Jesus is the "only way" and that all those who follow another faith are lost eternally then what on earth would it mean to "accept" that belief? Obviously, accepting the person themselves is another matter.

@SW-User I would say you would have to accept it's their belief. You don't have to agree with it

@Axeroberts Of course! Another aspect, at least as I see it (and have known it) is that we are often "saved" inspite of our beliefs rather than because of them. "The Lord works in mysterious ways" as some would say.....😀
