Every air breathing day of our life we ( and EVERYONE) sins
Sin is disobeying any of The Commandments in desire, word, deed or by omission

Eg Mark 12 : 31
How many Christians open their personal home and have a homeless unrelated destitute person living in it without strings ?
I could but I don’t <--- SINNER !!!!!
------------------
Flick the excuses, if they don’t admit that they still sin then are you talking to a Christian ?
So why and how quickly can a sinner be saved from deserved eternal punishment and what changes do they notice afterwards ?
-------------
My understanding :-
The absolute moment in thought and in heart that you confess to Christ (confessing to a priest wont save you) that you are a sinner deserving of eternal punishment and believe that He rose from the dead to save you and any sinner who believes, all your past and future sin is forgiven and you are sealed by The Holy Spirit.
---------------
You still will mess up every day but now you will know it and feel it, you will have a desire to learn more about Gods word and help lead others to Christ.
Your FREE gift of being saved is a gift that is not earned nor deserved nor lost based on anything you do (work) or don’t.
---------------
Absolutely, do good things as your abilities allow and mention what you do is your way of thanking Christ for what He did for you.
EG..someone picking up cigarette butts, walk up to them and give them 5 bucks telling them its from Christ – not from you.
What good is done if you feed the hungry without mentioning Christ only to let them fall into the furnace ?
Christians will be judged ( not lost ) based on their earthly works

Zbusc, it is good that you have given serious thought to this vital issue. The starting point was highlighted on the night Jesus was to be arrested and then executed.
(John 17:3) This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

A dedication needs to be made to '' the only true God '' along with a recognition of the sin atoning value of Jesus' shed blood.
(Ephesians 1:7) By means of him we have the release by ransom through the blood of that one, yes, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his undeserved kindness.

This, then needs to be made public by water baptism.
(1 Peter 3:21) Baptism, which corresponds to this, is also now saving you (not by the removing of the filth of the flesh, but by the request to God for a good conscience), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Jehovah's Witnesses will be pleased to direct you the Bibles' guidance in these matters.
