Your minimizing of justification by faith would cause Paul to have a heart attack and write you a very colorful letter. And of course, Martin Luther would roll over in his grave.
Justification, to you, is all something we deserve for being good. Amazing.

I will respond to this later... as I have pointed out the language 1000 times and "it" was considered. What is "IT" in
Gen 15 being considered or being judged. BELIEF! God judges response! Thus IT was considered/judged to him as righteousness/right/just. Abraham is the benficiary of the judgment concerning his action. this is clearly how judicial aspects work.
Gen 15:6 And he believed the LORD, and he counted
it to him as righteousness. ESV
Gen 15:6 Abram believed the LORD, and the LORD
considered his response of faith as proof of genuine loyalty. NET
