Belief in the Lord is necessary for salvation, yet it by itself does not save.

Are you saying that Paul lied???

His epistles are full of statements where he says that salvation is through faith alone. It's the common theme of his writings.

Acts 16:29-32 And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas. Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

His epistles are full of statements where he says that salvation is through faith alone [cites Acts 16:29-32]

If there is such abundance of "faith alone" in St. Paul's letters why did you choose one that does not say it?
