And neither is Salaah mentioned in one of those 7 beliefs or fasting or zakaat or Hajj.

Jihad IS NOT a belief. It is an action. You perform Jihad, you dont sit there and just believe in it. Salaah, Hajj, Fasting, Jihad these are actions not beliefs.

For further understanding, consult a dictionary.

You are confusing with mandatory beliefs with the basic, mandatory duties that muslims must partake in. Jihad is not a basic, mandatory duty.

"Buniyal Islamu ala khamsin; Shahadati 'an la ilaha illal lahu wa anna Muhammadar rasulu lahi; wa iqamis Salati, wa ita’iz Zakati, wa Hajji, wa Sawmi Ramadan (Bukhari)

Translation:

"Islam is based on five things: declaring that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, the establishment of Salah, the payment of Zakah, the Hajj and Sawm in the month of Ramadan.
