8 On the contrary, what does it say? The message is near you, in your mouth and in your heart., This is the message of faith that we proclaim: 9 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. 10 One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, Everyone who believes on him will not be put to shame, 12 since there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, because the same Lord of all richly blesses all who call on him. 13 For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Christian Standard Bible (Nashville, TN: Holman Bible Publishers, 2020), Ro 10:8–13

    Through Jesus, the LORD God provided salvation to ALL who will call on Him. No matter where you come from or what you’ve been through, if you believe in your heart (truly believe), that Jesus is God’s Son and He died and rose again to bring us forgiveness and life, His salvation is open to you. It begins by confessing with your mouth (to others) that “Jesus is Lord.”

    That confession paired with true belief leads us to righteousness, obedience to God.
