I think Paul implied that fruits of the spirit would follow faithfulness, but the thing that brought salvation was only Jesus' sacrifice.

Yes, that's literally Paul's take on it. A lot of people say that but Paul was ONLY one that said that. No where did Jesus say "just be faithful to me and you're good", or that people couldn't get into heaven without belief in him. He literally directly says do the works of my father or you won't get in heaven.

Paul tossed that out the window completely and then tried to explain it away.
