<<<If the fact that he is saved is manifested by the fact that he continues in the faith, that would indicate that if he does not continue, he is not saved; because the fact that he did not continue manifests the fact that he is not saved.>>>
Finally, you got it.
And that is different to saying that if he does not continue, he is no longer saved.

YES!
CONTINUE -
means in brief to KEEP DOING.
Men...Under the Law, "CONTINUE" what the Law requires, (by the mans POWER).
Men...Under Grace, "CONTINUE" what Grace requires, (by the POWER of God).
THE HIGHLIGHT IS ESTABLISHED;
God "OFFERED" TWO CHOICES, "ACCEPTABLE" TO God.
* ANY INDIVIDUAL MAN...DECIDES his OWN
CHOICE "BY his OWN AGREEMENT";
TO BE "Under the LAW".
OR
TO BE "Under GRACE".
* NO ONE, forces ANY MAN, to Choose EITHER of Gods Acceptable "OFFERINGS".
ANY man, (Tribe or Gentile), could, can, Choose to BE UNDER the LAW...
AND that CHOICE, MEANS "they must CONTINUE" under the Law, To fulfil "their OWN Agreement".
ONCE a NEW OFFERING "WAS OFFERED"...
ANY man, (Tribe or Gentile), could, can,
Choose to BE released from the LAW, (and IT'S Penalities for Violations); and
Accept (by their choice), TO BE "UNDER GRACE"...
THEY DO "NOT", "CONTINUE" Under Grace;
'BY THEIR OWN POWER"...
A man "UNDER GRACE", Continues Under Grace.....BY THE POWER OF GOD!
POINT BEING...
Scriptural
WARNINGS TO CONTINUE...
ONLY APPLIES to any man....
WHEN
The individual man is KEEPING his word (agreement), "BY HIS OWN POWER".
A man WHO has Accepted Gods Offering of "UNDER GRACE"....(through Christ Jesus)...
NEEDS (nor is given) A WARNING "TO CONTINUE"...
"THE CONTINUING (UNDER GRACE) IS ALREADY ESTABLISHED TO BE "KEPT FOREVER", BY Gods "POWER".
Glory to God,
