Choosing to sin, after we have received the knowledge of the truth, is choosing to be lost.

Romans 1:16 & 17 BSB; "I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek. 17For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish just as it is written": “The righteous will live by faith.”

Salvation=deliverance. There is an eternal deliverance, and there are many deliverances that we receive as we sojourn here in this world. Romans 1:16 is a deliverance we receive here in time.
When we are born again, we are quickened together with Christ, Eph 2:5. If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful, he cannot deny himself. 2 Tim 2:13. This would also prove OSAS.

- Salvation by grace plus law is totally wrong;
- Faith plus works is wrong if the intention is to obtain salvation throught works; Good works will flow naturally from a faithful believer.
- Salvation by sinless perfection is totally wrong. It is true that Jesus said "be perfect because my father is perfect", but this teaching was for the Jews before the crucifixion; when the Law was still in force. Some of Jesus' teachings are not for us and "be perfect" is one of them. We are not required to be perfect, but a minimum of holiness is necessary. Many christians think they can cheat on their spouses, but they are misguided. The ressurrected Jesus gave us a new gospel through Paul and other apostles and if we don't follow it we won't see Gods face (we will not be saved).

Jesus did not "cover" our sins, He took them all away. He became sin for us. We have no more sins attributed to us - there are none in our account. Jesus took them all, and exchanged them for His righteousness.
That's why salvation is always referred to as a "gift." A gift cannot be earned. You can't earn salvation by your works, nor can you retain salvation by your works. There is no reason to keep going back to get more forgiveness for sins. We already have complete forgiveness. All of our sins - past, present, and future - were paid for and forgiven at the cross.
For born again believers, the sin issue is finished. The price has been paid in full.

Perfection in that sense means to be complete, as in, we find our all-in-all in Him 
And hello! I hope you are well this fine day, Marcelo
