I would invite you all back to the simple. clear words of Holy Scripture...
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
- 1John 1:9
If we confess our sins
he is FAITHFUL and JUST to
1. forgive us our sins
2. and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness
ALL unrighteousness - not half.
Of course, that statement is true. It doesn't say how God cleanses us though.
