Explain what is an abbott and costello routine because what you quoted both agrees with each other.

For whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under heaven
given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved...

Grace* is the "unmerited" favor of God. That means we do not deserve it and can do nothing to ever deserve it. Grace is receiving goodness from God because God is good, not because I'm good.
Faith* is more than just believing in God, But trusting God. Knowing that Christ's payment for my sin was sufficient. Believing that he died for me, and on the third day, He rose again. Just as he promised he would.
Not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God.* Gifts cannot be earned or they become wages. The moment you try to deserve the free gift of God, it becomes something you are trying to earn. Gifts are to be accepted with thanksgiving and gratitude.
Not of works;* If you have been trying to become worthy of Gods grace through works, STOP. Only through Faith in the blood of Jesus will you be saved. As a new creation in Christ, (born again of the spirit), God will give you the opportunity to join him in HIS work. And HE will receive all the glory and praise. "so no man can boast in himself."
