No, Paul was not a legalist. Paul understood a balance between living by the letter of the law, and placing restrictions on the behavior of christians which is what the OP world does when it is right.
Paul was not doing as you suggest.... as for justification...."how were you baptised?" "Have you recieved the Holy Ghost since you believed?"
His words, not mine...
