***None are worthy in their own right. But obviously, by God’s standards, some are “deemed” or “considered” worthy to enter Heaven and some are not. Imputed vs. infused.**
It is the acceptance of the Grace of God that makes man worthy.
***Can you really throw away your “right” to be your father’s son? ***
We are adopted into His family. That can be rescinded.
***My guess would have been that we probably agree on who makes up the saved (unless sacraments are required for salvation), but we disagree about whether one is able to know if he is one of them. :)***
Mark’s Gospel says that belief and baptism are required. Peter and Paul speak of hope.

Not by a Christian or a Christian God it can't. When one adopts, one is making a commitment. If you made the commitment to adopt a child, would it ever be the Christian thing to do to "unadopt" that child? The child might turn out to be very troublesome, but it would take an act on your part to give up (to quit), and rescind the adoption. (The child doesn't get a say once it's done.) I don't see how a Christian could do that. I don't think our God would do that either.
