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

The idea that we are all deserving of eternal punishment for our sins no matter what those sins are are, in my opinion, is ludicrous for some of the following reasons:
It places those whose sins include genocide on an equal footing with those whose sins are not as far reaching.
It prescribes eternal or infinite punishment for finite sins.
For some this sin was introduced by a minor act of disobedience several thousand years ago, and we are still suffering from its effects. If you want to call eternal punishment under these circumstances just, then that is your choice.

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.

We are expected to believe this based on what? The ideas recorded by an author who lived thousands of years ago and mostly after Christ's death, with practically no supporting evidence. If one believes in ideas with little or no evidence then one is in danger of believing in anything.
