Yes it’s a good point, but the truly born-again Christian isn’t going to be allowed to “fall away” either.
God will run their lives over with His Conviction and shake them up accordingly.
1 John 3:6
Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
1 John 1:8-9
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Romans 8:38-39
38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Everybody sins - Yes even Saved Christians, and daily.
1 John gives us the formula to continue to fight it.
And now I will be accused of “advocating for sin” (not by you).
The other point is that God does not *let* us go without trying to keep us.
The verses about being sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption are pretty clear.
God doesn’t WANT people to go to hell. He wants them to be saved and come to repentance. Look at the lengths to which He goes and went to to save us.
Many of the verses people use to claim that one has to continue on in their own faith walk do two things.
One is that the verses are taken out of context and misapplied. The other is that it puts maintaining one’s salvation in the works category.
We are neither saved by works nor kept by works.
