So I repeat: can a self-described "saved" person be saved without repentance from sin?

If they don't repent, they don't turn to Christ, hence are not saved.

Jesus said by their fruits you will know them.

Someone who claims to be saved and lives like he's not isn't.

"If they don't repent, they don't turn to Christ, hence are not saved."

Thank you. One who seriously sins and is impenitent to the end cannot be saved. That's clear, and it's true.

[Mark17]

I forgot to mention. My sin DOES grieve me, and many of the sins I committed, when I was a grotesque sinner, in that other religion, still haunt me today, 48 years after my conversion. By the way, it was Jan 31st, 1970 that I was saved. 😀 Never admire someone with a dynamic testimony on how they got saved. They may have been a horrible sinner, as I was. They will say I did this, I did that, and then I was gloriously saved. That’s all well and good, but be sure, your sin will find you out. These people may very well be saved, but the consequences of the sins of their youth, can affect them for a lifetime. I am a living, breathing example of that. Am I guilt ridden about the sins of my youth? No, but things still bother me. I think you know what I mean. 😊😄😀
