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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Rom 10:9-10)

Hmmmmm. Nothing in there about baptism. Nothing in there about Sabbaths. Nothing in there about anything other than believing in your heart and cofessing (or acknowledging) with your mouth and then you SHALL be saved.

But since you only speak what comes out of your heart, the movement of your lips is not what saves you, but it is evidence that you have been saved. In both verses it is belief which is the trigger for salvation. Confession is the evidence that the trigger has been pulled.

I never said it mentioned baptism. I am only talking about confession in this verse. The verse clearly teaches that confession comes before salvation. You claim otherwise.
