Your use of ...saved...is miss leading. No one is ...saved...until God says we are saved.
While on this earth before death...we are born again only.
Those who miss apply the word saved is not highly regarded by God...I am sure. For if we can say ...saved before judgement....then that conclusion renders .......it is appointed unto man once to die....then the judgement...of no effect.
Not good.
Another way to say it is....saved is being taken out of context.
John specifically writes things to us so that we may KNOW we have eternal life. Therefore we also know we are already saved. Those in Christ are not condemned at the judgment at the end of this age, but their/our works in Him are weighed and measured against God's standard. So your claim that judgment is made of no effect is what is misleading, as well as your implication that we cannot know we are already saved.

Mag,
you are right in your statement that when we STAND at the Judgment Seat of Christ, it is not a
judgment of condemnation -
like it is written:
MATT. 5:19.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least Commandments, and shall teach men so,
he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:
but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
PS. 1:5.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
REV. 22:12.
And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give (every man according as his work shall be).

the difference is needing to be commanded under punishment of death to honor ones parents , versus being born again and having that respect and honor being imprinted upon our heart so that we don’t need to be commanded under death to do so
“honor your parents , if not you will be put to death by the people “ is the law of commandment
be born again in the spirit , and you will live and become a child of God who naturally honors parents and more than that one another , not neeeing a commandment to do so but simply living the new life God creates in us through the gospel
look at something as simple as the sabbath
“Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.”
Ezekiel 18:4 KJV
Commandment
“Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.”
Exodus 35:2
the law of sin and death
“And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.”
Numbers 15:32, 35-36
But the New Testament is contrary to that law
“Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.”
Colossians 2:16-17
Observance of the law was a shadow of the real things in Christ . Being born again is what saves us . Being born of the gospel and the truth therin leaves a person not having motivation , reason or inclination to do things like dishonor parents , worship false gods , kill . Lie , cheat
you can’t be born of the gospel and walk on those ways but you can observe Ten Commandments and be utterly wicked at the same time
we have to change at the source of our sin problem the commandments can’t do that but the gospel can

The ten Commandments are the moral law God has given to us to show two things concerning the law
1. how to love God
2. how to love man
The context of salvation the law provides us the understanding we have broken the law and are to receive the judgment for breaking them = death and separation from God. The law produces NO GRACE only judgment. By God's law, we are all guilty.
No one can keep the law of God " all have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God". Rom. 3:23 There is none righteous no not one Rom. 3:10
Jesus did for us what God and the law required, Blood and death.
God is Holy and sin from the beginning affects others something had to die for Adam & Eve to be covered read in Genesis.
God is also loving and merciful and that is why HE took our punishment and judgment onto Himself, To Him be all the glory.
One cannot keep what you have broken once, only judgment.
But as a born-again believer you keep the Ten not because only God said do not do or to do, YOu do so because You love Him and your neighbor. Jesus said To Love the Lord thy God with ALL. Doing so you keep all of them. In Christ, He has removed your transgression of the law and took unto himself your judgment. This is why the devil is so mad. God did for us what HE would not do nor will do for the devil and his angels
The devil aka satan the accuser comes before God saying " You so holy and judged me yet you left CS1 slide!
Jesus my mediator Has the testimony and evidence HE took my payment therefore Devil You still going to hell but not me
