Galatians 3:27 and baptism

Galatians 3:26 - For you are all sons of God (Christ like) through faith in Christ Jesus
Galatians 3:27 - For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Galatians 3:2,5-6,11,14,22,24,26 all says that one is justified and receives the Spirit by faith. And faith is equated to belief, in context. So how can vs 27 be interpreted as baptism being required for salvation?

Romans 13:14 - But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
Here Paul tells those who are already christians to 'put on Christ'. 'To put on Christ' is to imitate Christ.

Therefore all who are 'baptized into' Christ - imitate Christ. Also see my post on 'baptized into' Moses and 'baptism and indwelling of Spirit are same'. We identify with Christ by faith. Because of our faith, we receive the Holy Spirit and we imitate Christ by walking in the Spirit. Hence we are like Christ in Gods sight.

Galatians 3:27 doesnt says baptism is required for salvation.

1 Cor. 12:13 - we are baptized into one body by the Holy Spirit.
