Wouldn’t all Ten Commandments instruct us to “believe” instead of act? Faith alone is dangerous trap, and it has led to the demise of much of Christianity in the Western world (even among us Papist pigs).
If faith alone, coupled with the death of Christ on the cross, ensures my salvation, why would I ever attend church or do a good deed? Even worse, why WOULDN’T I DO EVIL DEEDS?

You really need to read the Bible. All the answers to your accusations are found in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, the second chapter.
And your logical fallacy is funny too. Doesn’t matter what people do; if Jesus and the Apostles taught that salvation is by grace through faith and NOT on account of works (As St. Paul, St. John, and Jesus himself taught, as can be CLEARLY FOUND in the WORD OF GOD), then it’s true.
Give Ephesians 2 and Romans 3 and 1 John a read and then get back to me.

Ephesians 2: “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus TO DO GOOD WORKS, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (emphasis mine)
I interpret your interpretations differently; it would seem there is an assumption that people of faith would by extension do good works.
