You are exactly right...this is what legalism is.
Legalism is not a set of standards to live by.
Most everyone has a set of standards.
Legalism is as you said rules without relationship, and the belief that those rules will save you without having a relationship with Christ.
Unfortunately too many throw the baby out with the bathwater. In their attempt to avoid legalism they slide into antinomianism and license becomes the only rule they live by.
