your verse, once again, is not directed at a born again Christian., but that verse is directed specifically at Jews, who have rejected messiah

What a bold-faced lie.

“Behold then the kindness, and the severity of God; on those having fallen, severity; but on you, kindness, if you continue in the kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.” (Romans 11:22)

YOU is the reader!

YOU!

its a warning to gentiles who are not yet born again.

How can the lost gentiles be cut-off from something they aren’t a part of to begin with???

Go ahead if you like and post more verses, and im happy to explain them to you.

You mean, Happy to explain them away…

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.

At the hour of death separation from the grace of God by apostasy / rejection of Christ or failing to repent of serious sin a man is lost in damnation! Or

Salvation:
Is for those who are faithful and die in the grace of God united to Christ and in his saints at death enter into eternal 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)

explain Lk 2:30?

It is a pretty straightforward verse sir, a man named Simeon had previously been told that before he died he would be able to see God's provision for saving His people, although the prophecy is not recorded for us other than here. Vs's 27-30 was the fulfillment of that prophecy.

Jesus is not our provision for salvation He is our salvation in his very person
