Faith is the required action. It's how we obey the gospel. Baptism is because of, not for, salvation.

Incorrect. Baptism is FOR the Remission of Sins. It is not just a "Faith in Christ" statement. (
Acts 2:38.)
Jesus told us in
Mark 16:16 - Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
Notice the keyword in the sentence. AND. Believes AND is baptized. You can not be saved with out being baptized. That word and is KAI. It can be said as AND or EVEN. So let us read it in a different manner.
"Whoever believes, even baptized, will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."
So you could equate Baptism in Jesus Name as believing on Jesus Christ for Salvation.
Either way you look at it, to be saved you MUST be baptized to be saved.
