And let me make this very clear, AGAIN...

Saved by Grace means all PAST sins forgiven. That is faith unto salvation. At that moment, YOU ARE BLAMELESS, white as snow, no longer UNDER CONDEMNATION OF THE LAW. No works involved. Only believing/faith. THEN, you are judged on works as you live out your life for Christ, as you PROFESS Christ.

Continuing in a pattern of willful sin, AFTER GRACE, is addressed here:

Hebrews 10:
26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

No need, as you were clear the first (or second, third...) time.

Clear, but not very convincing.

Nope - you are STILL 'judged' on faith.


You seem to like Hebrews...

Chapter 3

11 So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’ ” 12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
