Are you able to rephrase what you say in order that the other poster attempting to raise a serious point is not rebuffed?

It's not advocating a "I used to be conceited, but now I'm absolutely perfect" theology. God's justifying act is perfect (Romans, Galatians); but indwelling sin is something we contend with, as we take up our crosses daily: an expression the Lord Jesus used in Luke.
