Same as I've said many times before : we're under the Law of Faith ("believe in the Name of the Son of God AND love one another").
In Ro 14:5, the rule is given "let every man be fully convinced in his own mind", which is the second portion of the Law of Faith, so that the believer who breaks the Law of Faith isn't remaining in Christ but is condemned, and he can acknowledge his wrong and change course and be forgiven.

How do you understand the following verse?
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
The apostle Paul in certain places in the New Testament clearly announces certain fundamental doctrines.
There can be no doubt that Ephesians 2:8-9 is one of those fundamental doctrines.

This is a very complex subject, works and faith.
Acts 15:11
But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are.
Ultimately, we are saved by the grace of God in the first instance.
It would be better if everyone inserted the word, 'GRACE', before 'faith', in every occurrence in the N.T.
Romans 4:16
For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants

I understand what you are saying.
The problem is understanding the foundation of our faith and why we are saved in the first place.
Paul makes it very clear that we receive the Holy Spirit because we believed in Jesus.
Ephesians 1:13
In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise.
