Christ is in you, I think, and I believe that he is in me. That does not ensure my salvation.

That's just it, if Christ is in you, then he will never leave you or forsake you. He will not cast you out OR lose you. You are his when you receive him as Lord and Savior and the Holy Spirit indwells you as the "earnest of your inheritance". If that doesn't "ensure" your salvation, what else could?

Never said He would.

An inheritance is a gift. One may refuse a gift, or else spurn it at a later date.
