You're taking Romans out of context.

In Romans 10, Paul is speaking at a very high level. He's not talking in details, but in concepts. Romans is not a how to book.

Too many people have been falsely taught that all you have to do is confess Jesus as Lord and you'll be saved. Jesus Himself taught against that conclusion. Paul was teaching against obeying the law for the law's sake and re-enforcing the dependence on Jesus Christ for salvation among other concepts.

Agreed. It’s also understood that baptism is necessary unto salvation. Romans 6: 4-5 speaks to being buried with Christ in baptism.

This worked for me! It shattered the bonds of religious Legalism over my life forty seven years ago!

King James Version Acts 16:31
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Romans 10:9-10
King James Version

9 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.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Paul was teaching against obeying the law for the law's sake

Paul never spoke against the Law. Read Romans 3:31. But he also emphasized the Law does not save. That is not its job. Jesus saves. The Law condemns and it is through this condemnation the sinner is faced with a task he is incapable of surmounting on his/her own willpower or determination. So the Law is an important part of Gods plan to bring men to Him for their salvation.

Romans 9 and 10 are for Isrel, what Israel must do for their national rescue. The ONLY thing necessary for a church age person to receive salvation us BELIEVE, trust in Jesus as The Messiah, their individual Messiah.
