“ Your comment: “Salvation comes only by entrusting yourself to Him alone for the forgiveness of sin and to make you a new creation in Him.”

“So if one with saving faith commits murder, adultery, etc (mortal sins) and dies in the act, are they saved?”

…..

Christ’s death covered all the sins of the redeemed - past, present, and future.

The believer is now positionally the recipient of the imputed righteousness of Christ, seated in the heavenlies with Christ, and sealed to the day of redemption.

And that is just the start.

Best

You didn’t answer the questions.

Your beliefs are not based on the Truth of the Bible and the teachings of Jesus. You do not substantiate your beliefs, which appear to be man-made protestant opinions.

Your response: “Christ’s death covered all the sins of the redeemed - past, present, and future.”

God had sent Jesus to forgive sins, but after his resurrection Jesus told the apostles, “‘As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained’” (John 20:21–23).

Your response:” You have not convinced me that your beliefs are God’s Truth.”

Nor can any man.

Only God can open the eyes and heart.

Christ gave us His Church, the Sacraments and his priestly ministers to teach us God’s Truth for our salvation. We need to accept God’s Truth and follow Christ.

Christ authorized the Apostles and their successors to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them ...teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you always, to the close of the age.”

We will disagree on the Truth of Jesus and we will find out God’s Truth when we are judged by Jesus.John 5:25-29
