So your salvation is based on belief plus something else, a work that you do.

Friend, that isn't salvation.

So your salvation is based on belief plus something else

Your salvation appears to be based on grace plus something else (belief).

And what's worse, in John 6:28-29 Jesus explicitly says that belief itself is a 'work', so apparently you believe in works-based salvation.

Given this:

"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." -- Matthew 10:32-33

and this:

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." -- Romans 10:9

Were these people saved?

"Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue" -- John 12:42
