Nope! You need to believe and repent. Belief is the foundation of your worldview, which in turn will shape your actions. The Prayer itself does not save you. Only faith in Jesus will save you. The prayer is an act of contrition acknowledging what...

You said, God does whatever He wills without asking you (or me) to give consent. The truth of Ephesians 1:13-14 is abundantly clear; the indwelling and sealing work of the Spirit is accomplished by God. If you think you've got big enough balls...

Hmmm... I suspect your description of salvation came the Book of Common Sense because I see there is no Bible reference given. Salvation is a gift from God where He rescues the sinner from His eternal wrath through the substitutionary sacrifice...
