For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

If you want to micromanage and ignore the greater context ... shoot for it.

See Joel 2 this is referenced as well by Paul ... then harmonize

I agree Joel 2 is referenced. And I am not saying this is not a promise to all. But I am saying Paul is speaking generally and not detailingly, using the basic concept that Deut 30 presented, since all Jews knew Deut 30 and held it dear to their hearts, having it come from Moses. But we are not going to find details of salvation from either Deut 30 or Joel 2. Otherwise Paul did not need to say anything. The details are in instances like Acts 2:38.
