... does NOT identify TWO DIFFERENT things, but is a common parallelism. No one is suggesting that a true believer in Jesus Christ would "just believe in his/her heart" and then never say of do anything else with their lives.
We are saved because Jesus Christ saved us - John 1:29.
We could not and we simply cannot do anything to save ourselves (Ephesians 2:12-13 and Acts 2:21-40). We must call out to Him for salvation (as you have said) and then trust in His salvation, the cross of Calvary.

Why do some have problems accepting this?
