It depends on the circumstances and also the expectations of the person ringing the bell. Where I live it's not typical to visit people as a friend without specific invitation but I suppose it could happen. If the person knows you're home, it's different; If you're totally free, if's different from your being in the middle of something that it would be disruptive to interrupt.
Not to mention that it may very well be a delivery, the gas man, the doorman just dropping off a package, etc etc
I don't see answering the door in as monolithic a way as you do I guess.
