It’s arrogance to presume that you are sinless and already saved.

You are quoting from a translation So you and the translators can twist is whatever way you like.

We've been declared sinless by God, in a legal transaction.

Colossians 2:11-14 11In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.

13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

Wow that is some mind reading ya do... I have never said or implied that I am sinless..Jesus said He did not come for the righteous..but for sinners..

I am a sinner saved by grace and mercy... heaven will be full of sinners just like me that have been wrapped in Christ ... and hell will be full of the righteous white washed tombs that think one can be righteous based on their works or law keeping ...

Grace is giving someone what they do not deserve.. I do not nor have I ever deserved to be saved.. but God in His mercy ( not giving one what they deserve) has saved me..

I am saved not by my works but by the finished work of Christ
