Sure it is. Salvation is a done deal when a person is born again.

Nope. St. Paul tells us we have to persevere to the end. Our Lord, Jesus Christ, tells us we have to persevere to the end.

Is there something about *has passed (past tense) from death to life* that’s too hard to understand?

Of what about *sealed until the day of redemption*?

Nope.

If salvation is not guaranteed unless a person perseveres, then it’s dependent on their works, not by faith.
