Example of starting our relationship with Christ wrong.
Called out by the Father = repentance , turning from our way to His way mentally, = believing in what Christ did and said to receive the Spirit of Christ.
If the response to the calling of the Father is started wrong, the rest of the journey will be wrong also.
Example of starting the relationship with Christ correctly.
Called out by the Father, = turning from our way to His way mentally, = submitting a surrendered life to Him, and living a life inspired by such surrender.
That's only the beginning! If this is not started correctly, if we attempt to go over or around the sacrificial altar with no surrendered life, it will avail nothing.

We will never be worthy enough to earn salvation.

Also if their is any expectations of anything in return for the surrendered life, that's not a true surrender but a business deal or some kind of vending machine process.
The believing then recieving doctrine is exactly that an act of believing to receive something in return.
So if you want to talk about works to earning something, in this case earning salvation, believe and recieve is the best example.

Amen! Romans 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who BELIEVES, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 1 Corinthians 1:21 - For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who BELIEVE.

Romans 5:16 - And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. 18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
*The context of Romans is all men in Adam and all men in Christ. All men in Adam are condemned and all men in Christ are justified.
