I’ve read the passage in the Greek. These people were never saved. Can’t make it any clearer than that.

[Philsworld]

What’s clear is that you don’t know what you’re talking about. The excuses that some people come up with to distance themselves from God’s law just astounds me.

Suppose any of these people knew Greek?

22. Many will say. Here for the first time Jesus indirectly alludes to the fact that He will appear on “that day” as judge of all men (cf. ch. 26:64). Those who thus address Christ as Lord on the great final day of judgment do so as professed Christians. They have pretended in this life to be His followers, but have been weighed and found wanting.

23. Profess. Gr. homologeō, here meaning “to declare frankly.”

I never knew you. Or, according to the form of the Greek verb, “I never recognized [or, “became acquainted with”] you.” This is evidence that their teachings and miracles had not been spoken and performed in harmony with the will of God, or by His power.

Depart from me. Compare ch. 25:41. Sin results in a final and complete separation from God.

Iniquity. Gr. anomia, “lawlessness,” or “lack of conformity with law.” The workers of iniquity are “lawless” because they have refused to conform their lives to the perfect pattern set forth in the law of the kingdom of heaven—and “sin is the transgression of the law [anomia] ” (1 John 3:4). On the Mount of Olives Christ said that in the last days “iniquity,” anomia, would abound (Matt. 24:12), and a few decades later Paul observed that the “mystery of iniquity [anomia] ” was already at work (2 Thess. 2:7).

SDA Bible Commentary.

Do you profess to be a Christian? Is God "acquainted with" you? Your problem (and certainly many other people on this site) is that you look at the bible, already hating God's law. You are basically in open revolt against Christ, whether you realize it or not.

[Philsworld]

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Do you profess to be a Christian? Is God “acquainted with” you?

It’s futile arguing with a cultist to whom only the commandment about the Sabbath really seems to matter. You can have an exemplary Christian who loves the Lord, lives a life of faith and holiness that honors Him but if he goes to church on Sunday, according to them...he’s condemned to HELL! He could even take Saturdays off and rest, but he better not GO TO CHURCH ON Sundays.

And this cult swears up and down to believe in salvation by grace and not works! There’s a spiritual blindness going on.
