“We do not know who has or hasn’t been saved.

The Apostle John makes it clear your understanding needs improvement.

1 John 5:12-13

12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

Here is my point. Today you know you have Eternal Life.

Tomorrow maybe you will suffer like Job and unlike Job you will curse The Lord. I'm not saying you will, but, The Lord gives us a choice. The choice is not made only once it is made continually.

In the Garden of Eden God told Adam and Eve to not eat the fruit but gave them the ability to disobey, He gave them agency.

You can give your life to The Lord, you can praise Him and follow Him every day and you do well to do so but, you must endure to the end or it may all be for naught.

Your comment about knowing that you are saved is based on this Bible passage:
1 John 5:12-13

12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

While you claim to know that you are saved before death and judgement, yet many ignore and do not believe in these words of Jesus:

John Chapter 5; 51-53

I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”a

53Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.

You may also listen to St Paul In Phillippians 2:12
So then, my beloved, obedient as you have always been, not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent, work out your salvation with fear and trembling.*
