If you say I can lose my salvation through my actions, than that implies that I can gain it back by getting back in grace with God, which leads to works.

Nothing like starting your argument off on a non sequitur.

One more time. We can lose our salvation by refusing it, by our actions. We can re-gain it by repenting and asking for God's forgiveness. That's it. No works.

"We can lose our salvation by refusing it, by our actions. We can re-gain it..."

Don't you see that what you're saying is that salvation is in your hands. That you are responsible for your own salvation, which means that Christ's work on the Cross was insufficient. Could you please tell me what Hebrew 6:4-6 is saying then???

Wrong. God knew from the beginning of time exactly who would be eternal and who would not. You do not choose God, He chooses you. God loved Jacob but hated Esau before either was born. You can chop that up all you want but no amount of hail Marys, our Fathers or indulgences will change it.
