Disagree.

Once married, always married. But your sinfulness will destroy that marriage, make it one-sided. We fail God, we need to repent and seek forgiveness. If we fail to do that, we are not still in love with Jesus, as revealed by our actions, lack of actions. Just like marriage. Yes, Jesus died and resurrected for us - but we need to continue to attempt to lift a finger, to love, serve, honor Him. If not, we are but expecting God to love us and not loving God back. He is a jealous God - He asks that we love him back - not like an adulterous man tells his wife she’s still number one, but like a sinful, weak, repentful husband that tells his wife she’s still the ONLY one, by not just his mouthm, but by his behavior.

You need the screment of reconcilation - and much effort to become in time and with much effort, the saint He created you to become. We are asked to try, not necessarily succeed - and He will give us the graces to keep the faith, the confidence, the effort going.

You aint saved untile you meet Him and He informs you you’re saved. Until then, what you do is keep trying harder, asking forgiveness for the fail, and keep trying harder - to lovem serve, honor Him, know His love is great and confident He loves you incomparably.
