Verse 12 and 13 also says:

For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”[f]

14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in?

According to Romans 10, the pattern is sending, hearing, preaching, believing, calling, in that order.

That's not true. When we say the name of Jesus we must use our spirit. It is possible to call on the Lord without using our spirit, only using our natural man. It is possible to pray-read without using the spirit, using our natural man.

I never said we are just saying the name. That is what others are saying, that it is "merely saying a name".

To which I had two responses

a) It is not "just a name". It is the name of Jesus.
b) We do not merely say it, we use our spirit to pray.

There is no evidence that the disciples said "in Jesus name, amen" at the end of prayers either.
