Salvation can always be lost, according to the Christian religion.
The one thing that ascertains eternal damnation from salvation is the absolute denial of the existence of the holy spirit.
Also, if salvation could not be lost, what would be the reason for needing to continually seek absolution when one keeps sinning?
Whoever said salvation can be lost was a false prophet
and the unpardonable sin you speak of isn't denying the existence of the Holy Spirit, rather it was a specific sin which happened in the days when Jesus was on Earth. The Pharisees who seeing that Jesus was performing miracles being filled with the Holy Spirit said instead that he was filled with the demon Beelzebub blasphemed the Holy Spirit.
You're sins are not forgiven if you reject the Son.
All your sins are forgiven past, present, and future once you believe on Jesus Christ. confession of sins after receiving salvation by grace through Jesus Christ is for relational purposes with God. It offends God and grieves the Spirit when we sin (Ephesians 4:20) God has already given me eternal life in Heaven, but if I want to walk with God and live in a close relationship with Him on Earth, then I must confess my sins daily. And to confess means to agree with. I'm agreeing with God that I was wrong and sinned.

God said it in his precious word. You're the one lying.

Talk about non-consent! People might be more reluctant to even consider joining, if they knew they couldn't back out.
I already thought the God-concept was an abusive relationship, but ... wow.
