2 John: 9 Anyone who is so "progressive" 7 as not to remain in the teaching of the Christ does not have God; whoever remains in the teaching has the Father and the Son. 10 8 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him in your house or even greet him; 11 for whoever greets him shares in his evil works.

What is interesting in this passage it affirms preservation of the saints..

Backwards. Those persevere to the end will be saints. You must remain in the teaching. Those who reject the Faith are not saints, obviously.
