Romans 10, like Revelations, can be tricky when put in the hands of Trinitarian cherry picking. Context helps show who is talking and when. Also, I'd like to note as a side reference, the concept of Christ being the "end of the Law" means the "Completion" as in the sense of "Final placement", not the word "end" in the sense of termination, but in "finishing". Like "finishing a project". It says Jesus is "Lord" in the same way that David was "Lord". The LORD however.... The NLT in this instance correctly makes the divide in the reference with Kuriou and the Kurios. One is a title, one is a being.

For "Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved."
1Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: “The man who does these things will live by them.”a 6But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’b” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7“or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’c” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”d that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”e 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”f
