So a person -— like this abortion-bound woman -— could go for years thinking they’re saved, and they’re not and never were?

No. If you are truly saved by Christ, He says no one can snatch them from His hand. He also said in the parable of the farmer who spread seed that not all seed falls on good soil and comes to growth. Some seed, in fact, dies. These people heard the Word of God, but the cares of this life and the lies of sin and riches prevented them from accepting Christ. I personally believe there are a lot of “going throught the motions” people who are Christians in name only.

Matthew 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles? And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness. In a word. Yes.
That's why Paul tells us to examine ourselves and see if we're in the faith.
What's the fruit of a regenerated life?
