OK, and this does lead me to ask what happens if the mortal sin is not taken care of, and the person dies and goes to hell. What happens to the indwelling Spirit in that case? What a great question. And of course, there is no answer for it because the premise is all wrong.
If the Holy Spirit indwells a man, that man will, at a time of God's choosing, be surely brought home. We have His promise for that.

What a great question...."...even to morrow the LORD will shew who are His, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him." -- Numbers 16:5 And a great quote. Here's another.
1Ki 19:18 "Yet I will leave 7,000 in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him."
It is God who causes us to draw near and God who substains us. We cannot fall because God is in control of our lives.
