Yes, she was "saved"... by God, because she Gave God her Faith.
Later she was born again, and had the Holy Spirit, as HE had not been given yet.
So,
There is no losing being saved, as you can't lose what you can't do for yourself, in this case.

that’s why no one can a saved until death

Redemption:
The redemption was accomplished by Christ with no participation on our part!

Justification:
then when we believe in him and his redemption we are justified in that faith and baptism!

Sanctification:
then we are in Christ and his church by grace faith and baptism we practice good works (prayer, alms, fasting, virtues charity, other sacraments etc.

Salvation:
then when we are faithful to Christ and in his grace at death enter salvation!

Titus 2:14
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, (redemption) and purify unto himself a peculiar people, (justification / baptism notice purify / wash) zealous of good works. (Sanctification) Matt 24:13 endures to the end Shall be saved.
(Salvation)

Hebrews 12:4
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

And neither have you.

The good news is, we dont have to sweat Blood to be with God, as God has already Shed Hid BLOOD for us, on the Cross.

Isn't God good?
Isnt Jesus Beautiful?
He is : God's AMAZING GRACE.

How about a verse that proves "continuing to believe in the blood of Christ" is not at all necessary?

Luke 23:43
And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
No stipulations, no conditions, no process, no "Get back to Me in a couple hours", no "Let's see how you endure"--just: Believe and die. Period.
Prophetic foreknowledge.

See that which you posted.?
That is the Cross.
Just stay there, and you can stop talking about water, mary, the "cult of Mary", commandments, and enduring to the end".

A.) Horse Feathers.

Can you make anything else up, to try to hide the fact that you dont know what you are talking about, again?
Jesus knows all things, but what's so hard about Him knowing that the thief on the cross would be dead by the end of the day and he'd be in Paradise with Him? I mean, anybody could see that coming. Not a lot of time left for the events to take a sudden turn, lol.

You said the same thing Behold said in different words... same meaning.
Maybe you can explain it to Behold. He refuses to acknowledge that I'm saying faith is faith in the blood of Jesus, not faith in faith. When you think about it, faith in faith is still faith in the blood of Jesus, lol! Is that what you were gettin' at?

I pray that members can come to the place where they can discuss there DIFFERENT beliefs and understanding WITHOUT making it a personal ATTACK against one another.
So not everyone believes the same....fine....just accept it and move on. Stay on topic and don't address the members in a personal response.
Address the topic not the person.
Love the sinner...hate the sin.
Do not place yourself above another but walk in humility and love towards one another.

Prophetic foreknowledge.
That doesn't address the issue.

The fact is it is now past tense evidence of just what is and is not required for salvation. It is the gospel record...scripture agreeing with all scripture, and good for correction.

My advice is CLING TO THE MERITS OF CHRIST , ITS THE ONLY THING GONNA SAVE YA . JESUS EARNED IT
EMBRACE IT . All else is but winds of vanity . Open the bible and learn that JESUS and do so quickly
and learn all things the apostels also left us in said bible and be quick to do it .
For many decievers are abounding and deceptoin grows massive now . JESUS PAID THE PRICE , NOW EMBRACE HIM .
