We are all sinners (both groups) and as human beings made in the likeness of God.

Nope. Those who are redeemed, the saved who have been born again, are saints. They sometimes sin, but God does not see them or treat them as sinners.

Once a person is found in Christ, the righteousness of Christ is imputed to him, credited to his account BY GOD.

We are not sinners who sometimes do good things and even religious things. We are new creatures in Christ.

That makes a saint, who is living in enemy territory, the world which is under the control of the prince of the power of the air.

Judicially, we have been declared sin free.

Positionally, we are seated with Christ in the heavenly places.

Relationally, we are joint heirs with Christ.

Well I hope that you do not die in mortal sin.

While you may believe this, it does not follow the teachings of Jesus.

Praise God our sins are forgiven:

Psalm 103:12 Amplified Bible (AMP)

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
