Yes...but...the believer must remain in a state of grace through his works, right? Catholicism is the epitome of "bait and switch". You are saved by grace but kept saved by your works. That is why no Catholic will profess to an assurance of his salvation. He is one "mortal" sin away from hell! True believers possess eternal life by faith (1 John 5:13) but Scripture does warn believers about departing from the living God in unbelief, drawing back into perdition, making Christ of no effect, to no profit, falling from grace, (Heb. 3:12; 10:38,39; Gal. 5:1-4) - which denial is the only thing one can and must take credit for.
But the problem with most Catholics is that they never had a "Scriptural day of salvation," and as explained, "salvation by grace" means that "by the grace of God" they actually become good enough to be with God via (for most) baptism without personal faith and repentance, and thru RC Purgatory. About which I have said much already in refutation.

Thats what I was taught, and believed when I was a catholic. Since I am not a catholic anymore, I dont accept that line of reasoning. I have assurance of salvation. Everyone should. Its a beautiful thing. 😁🤣👍
