Wait no dis. Faith is extermly important. But faith without action is dead. Jesus was a teacher and taught us to follow him. So we have to work to try and follow his perfect example. Logically and scripturally what you are saying does not make sense. In Jude one of Jesus' disciples warned that ungodly men were "turning the undeserved kindness of our God into an excuse for loose conduct and proving false to our only Owner and Lord, Jesus Christ."
Come on! The Bible says that we must "become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving ourselves with false reasoning."—James 1:22.
The Bible even describes our Christian course like a race. There is work involved with our faith. Your saying we can continue living, for example, a life of sin but be saved by God only if we believe in Christ! Serioulsy! Jesus and the apostales kept urging the congregations to continue straightening their faith and changing there lives. Giving up false worship and unchristian behavior! You have to do more than simplly believe!
