“If you declare 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 your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” - Romans 10:9-10

Paul was writing to Rome from Corinth. He had Tertius of Iconium write this while he dictated. Paul had established a number of churches around the Greek seas in the decade leading up to the letter. Rome was the then undisputed capital of the 'known world.'

Here, (as wikipedia has posted) "Paul continues his discussion of Israel's rejection of God’s purpose which he had commenced in chapter 9: despite his "anguish over Israel" it remains his "heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites that they may be saved."" Paul's view is not the view of God, and can be described as prejudicial. He is illustrating how the faithful behave, but not doing so in terms which are compliant. To be fair, Paul was trained as one who might become High Priest of the Jews, before his conversion to Christianity, and so he may have felt entitled to write such.
