It is moot because your post pretended I don’t know the difference between true faith and false faith. Paul’s verse clearly says “confess with your mouth and believe in your heart.”

Doesn’t it?

Indeed it does. But now comes the task of interpreting the verse. Did the Arians and Eutychians and Nestorians "confess with their mouth and believe in their heart"? On the simplistic Protestant reading of this verse, the answer would be yes.
