When one is born again by the Spirit through faith in Jesus, their life enters into a daily work of sanctification where divine fruit is produced that signifies one is truly a disciple of Jesus (John 15:8). The Christian is NOT perfect due the Adamic sin nature that remains in the flesh (Romans 5:12; Romans 3:23) but there is an obvious physical and spiritual change due the presence of the indwelling Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16-23).

This person having been redeemed by faith and secured – guaranteed – sealed by the indwelling Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14) is secure in Jesus and though they’re not perfect they are gifted the perfection of Jesus over their life through the imputation, a promise of the Gospel (2 Corinthians 5:21). The Christian has a new name, a new residence, an eternal relationship with the Father through faith in Jesus and no one will snatch them out of the hand of Jesus or the Father (John 10:28-30).

Catholicism is not nor has it ever been Christianity. Catholicism is a cult of works and paganism. Trust only in Jesus as Messiah, honor Jesus with your pursuit of obedience to the Holy Spirit. Live!
