The context of Romans 10:9-10 is Romans 10:1-8 and also the things said in the previous chapters.

"If you live after the flesh you shall die, if you through the Spirit do put to death the deeds of the flesh, you shall live." Romans 8:13-14

"If you live after the flesh you shall die, if you through the Spirit do put to death the deeds of the flesh, you shall live." Romans 8:13-14

In Romans 10 Paul is speaking about how to receive the Spirit. Paul quotes Deuteronomy 30:12-14 "Who shall go up to heaven and bring the word down to us, that we may hear it and do it" "that we may hear it and do it" is repeated in the Deuteronomy text, but what we have of Paul's quotes leaves that out, but the idea is that Jesus is that word of God come down from heaven, that we may hear it and do it. One professing such and believing that Christ rose from the dead is sealed with the Holy Spirit.

Cornelius was likely living the way Christ taught, without having heard of Christ. Acts 10:31, 35 Before they received the Holy Spirit we can conclude that they already were living correctly, and they then believed that Christ rose from the dead: Acts 10:40-42, right then when Peter said that they could have believed it in their hearts, then also 10:43 Peter tells them to believe, then verse 44 they receive the Spirit.
