"of course not."

All sin is a conscious choice to choose a known wrong over a known right. Does a presumption that God will automatically forgive any sin once repented factor into your decisions to sin?

Peace be with you.

"You will learn that justification is always based on faith and not works."

There is no one-size-fits-all plan for Salvation. Each has a unique plan, drawn-up by God from before the beginning of time that is perfected for every moment and circumstance in our lives.

Faith is an act of the will and unless and until we forsake freewill we must constantly strive to hold fast. Works, demonstrated in the Fruit of the Holy Spirit, are evidence of our faith. If we do not manifest abundant Fruit we are not saved.

Peace be with you.

No it is not. We often sin, not being aware we sinned. Once and a while, my eyes are opened to see something I had never considered. It was sin the whole time. I was unaware I was committing it! Yikes!
