Keep it in context. Paul tell those in Rome who are already saved, if ISRAEL would confess that Jesus was the Messiah thy would in turn do what was necessary to be saved just as Cornelius did.

Exactly. You're making my argument for me. "If they do exactly what you've done...which is believe....they'll be saved.
And of course, the greatest mistake in hermeneutics, is to take a verse and develop a doctrine over it, for example,
Acts 2:38, just to grab a completely random verse out of nowhere. Even if you want to apply the hermeneutically flawed concept of "He was talking to people who were already saved" for the Romans reference, you then have to attempt to explain away the dozens of other correlating verses concerning salvation by grace that comes through belief. You'll have to develop an excuse for all 40+ places in the NT that say essentially the same thing as
Romans 10:9-12?
Come on now, a sharp Obama guy like yourself, isn't going to fall for this "But Romans is talking to people who are already saved" malarkey, are you?
It's very possibly the worst interpretational application in exegetical history.
