"That if you confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.For it is with the Heart the you believe and are justifed, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says "anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."

Salvation involves and inward belief as well as an outward confession.

Christ didn't come to save the devil or his evil angel buddies. "2Peter 2: 4 For God did not spare angels when they sinned but sent them to hell putting them in gloomy dungeons to be held for judgement." The devil's heart is against God. He acknowledges God but chooses to go against him. James 2: 19 states "You believe that there is one God. Good! even demons believe that - and shudder." So the devil and his buddies know that God exist yet their hearts are completely against him. So salvation is not just acknowledging God exist but Trusting in Him and His word and confessing outwardly that the only God that exist is what you inwardly believe in or Trust in).
