You clearly have no idea what faith is, nor what Yeshua taught during his earthly ministry.

He preached Torah and love.

Torah is love.

Love of Torah is righteousness.

You clearly have no idea of what faith OR grace is according to Jesus and the whole of Divinely-inspired Scripture.

Here's a test. The jailer asked Peter, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?". Peter answered, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household."

Paul said the Word of God brings salvation, "But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved. (Romans 10:8-10).

Now, they didn't mention "keeping Torah" or "endure to the end" or "set out to obey Torah". If people do not do all the things you say they must in order to be saved (and you keep changing what those things are), but believe in their hearts that Jesus Christ is Lord, that God has raised Him from the dead, that He has died for their sins, will they still be saved? Is their faith enough?

Wrong!

God is love and Jesus is our righteousness.

The fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

We have our righteousness inputed to us, credited to our account, feom the righteouness of Christ. That’s the ONLY way we can receive the perfect righteousness that God requires of us.

Because if these was a law that was given that could give life, righteousness would have come through that law.

But there wasn’t so Jesus died IN OUR PLACE. Not so that we could work our way to heaven but so that we could throw ourself on the mercy of the court and be freely forgiven and be given the life of Jesus as a gift.
