And perhaps not realizing that the NT describes believing as a work.
The problem with this is that people seem to think "believing" is some sort of scape goat.

When John says Jesus will cleanse you of unrighteousness, what does he mean?

I think most Christians strive to be as much like Christ as humanly possible.

You're kidding right?
recognize this quote?
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ
Like i said, many take belief is christ as a free pass to judge everyone that doesn't agree with their specific belief system.

Revelation15
They sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb:
“Great and astounding are your deeds,
Lord God, the All-Powerful!
Just and true are your ways,
King over the nations!
Who will not fear you, O Lord,
and glorify your name, because you alone are holy?
They sang songs of two people who were servants of God, Moses and Jesus.
Who were they praising? God.
Who did Jesus say to be like? The Father.
Who did Jesus say was the only one good? Himself? No.
That would be God.
. . .and the invisible eternal King of 1Timothy1?
1 Peter 1:2 in the version I am using, puts it just like that.

Yes, basically the term Sanctification means: "to set apart, for a specific duty/service."
