NIV Ephesians 1:

13And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,

i.e., the Paraclete who dwells in our spirit

14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

Yes, this shows us where we are at in our Salvation. We are still in the sinful flesh, but we are living after the Spirit. As such, we have enough of a Deposit to guarantee the Purchase. And indeed, it has already been purchased.
