Of course I'd say the idea is false (see James White vs. Trent Horn debate on the topic of "Can a Christian Lose Their Salvation?": But I also say their "assurance" doesn't play out in real life. They say if you fall into serious sin or apostasize, then you weren't really saved to begin with, because a truly saved person wouldn't do those things. The problem is that they know they're *capable* of such sins, so they end up questioning their conversion experience. And even if they THINK they are saved, they admit a people can be deceived about it and shown NOT to be saved by their fruits. It's as if they're guaranteed salvation no matter what...until shown otherwise -- which is another way of saying they can't have full assurance. It's more reasonable and biblical and straightforward to say that, after baptism, we are in a saved condition unless we fall into mortal sin. If that happens, then we need sacramental Confession. We only go to hell if we die in a state of mortal sin. "Once saved always saved" is self-deception and can be very dangerous to one's soul. In fact there have been preachers that said it truly doesn't matter what heinous sins you commit after you're saved -- you can't undo your salvation, they say, though you can miss out on certain heavenly rewards. That's a diabolical teaching.

Appreciate the response. Very well said. Even though I went to a Catholic school until I was 15, I’m just now gaining an appreciation for the traditions and sacraments, especially confession, of the Catholic Church in my 30s. I tried the nondenominational route, but it didn’t feel quite right. The phrase ‘Lex orandi, lex credendi’ captures what I think is missing from many such churches. Nothing quite like worshipping in a beautiful cathedral.
So true. An appropriately beautiful sanctuary beats a "worship space" anytime. The Lex Orlando, Lex Credendi principle you mention is most evident to me in the liturgy itself. Perhaps you go to a Traditional Latin Mass, but if you don't or live far away from one, you should make it a point to go -- even if it's an occasional visit. We go every week. It's an hour drive vs. a 10-min. drive to the normie "New Mass." I can see a clear difference in quality between the faith of people who go to the different liturgies. There are a few "conservative" parishioners who go to the New Mass, but even they are adversely affected compared to their counterparts at the TLM. I share this only because it has meant so much to me. While I'm not judgy (in a bad way), I believe in spreading traditional Catholicism more than Protestant-flavored Catholicism. Like you said, Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi.
