So the question that arises is "where is the point at which belief matters?" Listening to your statements, it would seem that it is "anytime," even if that time is not "now."

My understanding is the "present time" means this dispensation- the Church Age.
Salvation plans are not all the same. In the Old Testament(after the fall), both belief and works are involved. In the Church Age, saved by grace through faith. After the Church Age, another gospel, the everlasting gospel, is preached by an angel during the Tribulation. (Rev.14:6-7)
