I'm aware of those translations. Whether sanctified set apart/made holy in standing before God positionally in Christ or progressive sanctification in which the reality of that holiness becomes more and more evident in our actions, words, thoughts, attitudes, and motives, regardless, for the believer, the one offering has perfected for all time those who are sanctified "set apart/made holy" and are being sanctified progressively.Modern Translations say “being sanctified” or “being made holy” in Hebrews 10:14. This rendering could also potentially be accurate because sanctification does not stop in a believer’s life.
Hebrews 10:14 BLB
“For by one offering, He has perfected for all time those being sanctified.”
Hebrews 10:14 NLT
“For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.”
Hebrews 10:14 ESV
“For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.”
Hebrews 10:14 AMP
“For by the one offering He has perfected forever and completely cleansed those who are being sanctified [bringing each believer to spiritual completion and maturity].”
Your surface reading of 1 John 1:7 results in "type 2 works salvation." I already thoroughly explained 1 John 1:7 to you (after properly harmonizing scripture with scripture) in post #269 from the link below:This makes sense because 1 John 1:7 says that if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. So it’s not just having faith in Christ’s blood as the atoning sacrifice for the remission of sin (Romans 3:25), but one also has to “walk in the light to have the blood of Jesus cleanse one from all sin” according to 1 John 1:7, too. Walking in the light = Loving your brother according to the indirect wording found in 1 John 2:9-11. So you have to love your brother (action, or obedience, holy living) to continue to access the redemption of our Savior (i.e. to be sanctified, washed or cleansed from past sin).

BUT unfortunately, I can see that what I explained to you obviously went right over your head.
The end of progressive sanctification (final sanctification) will become a reality once we are glorified. Believers are still perfected for all time and not temporarily.The rendering of Hebrews 10:14 in the King James Bible sounds like it could also be referring to a believer’s progressive Sanctification being complete in this life (Which is a somewhat closely related to the words “being sanctified” found in Modern Translations). So if you wanted to take the words “for ever” to mean all eternity, Hebrews 10:14 can refer to sanctification continuing and being complete in this life. For the sacrifice applies even in our action of walking in the light according to 1 John 1:7.
For sanctification does not end with our acceptance of Christ in our Initial Salvation. It continues in Progressive Sanctification of living a holy life life, too.
Oh yes you can. Hebrews 10:39 - But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul. Those who draw back to perdition do not believe to the saving of the soul and those who believe to the saving of the soul do not draw back to perdition.Hebrews 10:38 says:
“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”
You cannot draw back from living by faith if you never had the faith to begin with.
Genuine believers do not permanently fall away and lose their salvation. Your list of 'surface read' verses that lead you to 'type 2 works salvation' and 'self preservation' have already been explained to you multiple times, but as usual, you just don't have eyes to see or ears to hear. Romans Catholics and other works-salvationists (including LoveGodsWord from CF) continually cite the same verses that you cite with the same interpretation as you, but you still can't see the red flag. 'Surface read' verses 'out of context' remain your achilles heel.But Hebrews 10:26-38 is not the only place in the Bible that talks about falling away. Here are several lists of verses that makes it absolutely clear that believers can fall away from the faith:
Here is a General List of Verses on How Believers Can Fall Away:
Hebrews 3:12-14
Hebrews 4:11
Hebrews 6:4-9
Hebrews 12:15
1 Timothy 1:18-20
1 Timothy 4:1-7
Galatians 5:2-4
2 Peter 2:20-22
2 Peter 3:17
Luke 8:11-15
