And you, who were once alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight - if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.
Col 1:21-23

Isn’t Paul pointing to Christianity in this passage?

But that doesn’t necessarily mean that you lose your salvation, only that if you don’t continue in the faith, you won’t be able to stand before Him holy, blameless, and without reproach.

There are rewards for faithful service and those can be gained or lost even while the person is saved, as if by fire.
