What did Peter preach at Cornelius's house instead of the cross for salvation?

Les explains that in Acts chapter 10, Peter is in the home of Cornelius, preaching to Gentiles. While Peter was yet preaching, the Holy Spirit came upon those Gentiles, evidenced with tongues, and Peter was flabbergasted because this was not the expected order. Peter had not said a word about the work of the cross for salvation by Jesus’ shed blood, as Paul would have done. Instead, all Peter could rehearse was that this Jesus of Nazareth, who had appeared to the nation of Israel, had been crucified and killed but had been raised from the dead and was alive. In Acts 10:43, Peter says all the prophets give witness that through His Name—not through His work of the cross—salvation is found. Peter as yet did not know Paul’s Gospel, but he did know that the Name of Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, the Son of God, was the vehicle for salvation.
