No, that is incorrect reckoning.... Because God makes it abundantly clear that believers' TODAY at present time KNOW and have complete assurance regarding our final destination: For in God's Word the Bible HE declares that a believer already has been saved from the curse of the Law (Galatians 3:13), from wrath (I Th. 5:9), from death (see II Corinthians 1:10), and from destruction (II Thessalonians 1:9). A sinner who trusts in Christ becomes: a son of God (Romans 8:14-15), a child of God (John 1:12-13), regenerated from sin (Titus 3:5), a new creature (II Corinthians 5:17), a heavenly citizen (Philippians 3:20), an heir to God's grace and inheritance (Romans 5:2; Ephesians 1:18), and is declared complete in Christ (Colossians 2:9-10).

What Scripture did you not understand from Galatians 3:13, 1 Thessalonians 5:9, II Thessalonians 1:9, II Corinthians 1:10, Romans 8:14-15), John 1:12-13, Titus 3:5, II Corinthians 5:17, Philippians 3:20, Romans 5:2; Ephesians 1:18, Colossians 2:9-10?

For all of these Scriptures declare our present tense position and status In Christ. I have all these blessings which God has given to me NOW. I know my eternal salvation and security is absolutely assured today even before I die in my physical body. Below are some of the blessing I possess right now! Since I have these now, it is impossible for me to lose my salvation, for my life is in the hands of God and Christ and the Holy Spirit.
