I'm a world class sinner. I don't pretend to "know" I'll be saved.... I pray God forgives me. Do you understand how revealing this statement is?
IJohn states clearly...."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."
Being a Christian isn't about hoping that by praying one might be forgiven and have eternal life. Eternal life is what is 'promised' thru Christ absolutely when we acccept the fact it is our sin He died for... and that we can KNOW His forgiveness beyond question. There is no pretending about this...we KNOW..we have eternal life.

To deny this assurance is only possible by denying the Scriptures as the word of God. Something Rome and its apologists do regularly on this forum.
