I have seen ministers make altar calls, and then they pray for the converts without making them pray the sinners prayer. according to Romans 10:9-10 one should confess Jesus as Lord.. then you'll be saved! am I taking the scripture literally or are the ministers incorrect?

Carry your pagan nonsense back to Hell!...filthy heathens!

Well, it is difficult to establish hard and fast rules here; but it is necessary to examine the fruits after a profession is made.

For example, look at the Acts of the Apostles, you will notice that there was no template used but the results were identical.

If they have been convicted by God, they have already made a spiritual declaration. Neither can that prayer save someone who's spirit has not been transformed. Belief is the key. When you look at the gatherings of Christ Himself, and even his disciples later, there is little reference to ritual meant for people who have already believed.
