Titus 3:
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

Romans 3:
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Why do you continue to insist that when a person believes, they are not justified by grace? ... or that faith / believing somehow negates God's grace ?
God is very specific in telling us that faith/believing is essential, notwithstanding your obvious contempt concerning faith/believing ...
Romans 10:
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.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
The words "confess" in vs 9 and the "confession" in vs 10 are translated from the Greek word homologeō which means to voice the same conclusion, i.e. agree ("confess"); to profess (confess) because in full agreement; to align with.
When we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord, we are agreeing with what we have heard from Scripture. So when we tell someone the gospel, it is important that we speak what is in God's Word concerning the Lord Jesus Christ and salvation. Otherwise, someone may "agree" with us, but if we're mouthing doctrines of men, that person may not be born again, not because they don't want to believe, but because we have misrepresented the gospel ... it is the gospel which is the power of God unto salvation ...
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
