Do we believe you, or do we believe the “beloved” apostle John?
I’m going with John, if you don’t mind.
John says that confession fixes the times that we slip up.
>> “Salvation occurs in an instant.” <<
Yes, but according to Yeshua, and Paul, that instant has not come yet; it happens at the Last Trump, in a twinkling of an eye, and judging by present fulfillments of prophecy WRT Jerusalem, it looks like the fall of 2024 is when that instant will come along, so if you’re not dead yet your salvation is dependent upon holding fast in faith.
You’ve already denounced the scriptures that make that plain, so save your keyboard.

Nowhere do I denounce Scripture and there really is no reason to accuse. We were sharing the Gospel and some epistles.
I don’t find they support your argument. If nobody is saved until they die, then there aren’t any true believers, hence no Christians. Our God is a Living God and indwells believers who are saved. It is foolish to argue with those with that life.
