Is repentance a necessary act that is required by men for salvation or are men saved by "faith only?"
Acts 17:30-31 Therefore having
overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all
people everywhere should repent, 31 because He has fixed a day in which
He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has
appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the
dead.
People should repent because God commanded it and because all men will stand before Jesus on Judgment Day.

It men believe (John 3:16), confess (Romans 10:9-10), repent (Acts 3:19) and are baptized in water (Acts 2:38) then they are saved. It can take 2 hrs more or less.
Repentance does not stop at water baptism. You also need to repent after you become a Christian.
THE APOSTLE PAUL WAS TALKING TO CHRISTIANS IN GALATIANS CHAPTER 5.
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
