Yes, that is what I believe as well.

But, faith is not something you do. It isn't like becoming a black belt in karate, or something.

Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

3:27,28: Most religions prescribe specific duties that must be performed to make a person acceptable to God. Christianity is unique in teaching that the good things we do will not put us right with God. No amount of human achievement or progress in personal development will close the gap between God's moral perfection and our imperfect daily performance. We are saved only by trusting in what God has done for us (see Ephesians 2:8-10)

3:28 Why does God save us by faith alone? (1) Faith eliminates human pride. (2) Faith exalts God, not people. (3) Faith makes salvation available to all. (4) Faith admits that we can't keep the law or measure up to God's standards - we need help. (5) Faith is based on a relationship with God, not on performance for God.
