"Notice, according to your illogical understanding of the verse, if one merely HEARS the words of Jesus and believes in the Father he is saved. It sys nothing about faith in Christ. Now, do you really believe Christ taught AGAINST faith? No, of course not. That is part of what “hearing” would mean. ANd also part of “hearing” would be obeying."

You don't seem to understand what faith means, nor belief. No one who believes Jesus is God would live an unchanged life. However, when you add a string of required acts, you deny the words of Jesus.

There isn't a conflict between faith and good works, but there is a sequence. Faith - belief - must PRECEDE the good works, or they are fleshly pride. But once one believes, then the works will follow.

But remember the words of Jesus: "Then they said to him, "What must we do, to be doing the works of God?" Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent." - John 6
