I understand this and agree but I still have concerns about Christians talking about being perfect. It's more the word than the intent. If I state that I have been saved and am now perfect and someone I witness to hears me say this then sees me do something un-perfect I worry that without understanding they might be completely turned off to knowing more.

Reflect on this:
Hebrews 4:14-16
5:7-9
Since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do nopt have a high priest who is unable to sympathisize with our weaknesses but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin. So let is confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help.
In the days when Christ was in the flesh. he offfered payers and supplications with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reference.Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered, and when he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.

I agree with you, other then among fellow Christians who understand, I'd never mention it.
It's too hard to explain anyway. Lol
