I won’t say who is saved or not, but if you are performing works because you are afraid if you don’t do them you are not saved, you are participating in works based salvation, which is the opposite of what Jesus taught (”Not of works, lest anyone should boast.”).

BTW, you quoted Proverbs 9:10. The word “fear” has many meanings. And regarding MY Lord, I see this one:

reverential awe, especially toward God:
the fear of God.
From dictionary.com

Fear is the opposite of faith, and faith is the opposite of fear.
