If we continue to sin after salvation then we are not truly saved or have backsliden.
Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God: but in works they do deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Hebrews 10:26-27
26 For if we willfully sin after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation that shall devour the adversaries.
1st John 1:6 If we say we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not know the truth.
1st John 2:4 He that says, I know Him, and keeps not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
If we willfully commit murder and then die with repentance we will not go to Heaven

So with that logic, if someone lusts after a woman, and commits adultry (because lust is adultry from the words of Christ) and dies in a car accident before they can repent are they in hell? If the blood of Christ only covers the sins that are past we're all in serious trouble, because we would have lost our salvation the first day we were saved when we sinned, because Christ cannot be reoffered for sin (Hebrews 6:6) . As for your reference to Hebrews, the background is the defiant sin of Numbers 15:30-31 for which there was no propitiatory offering. If a person rejects the truth of Christ's death for sin, there is no other sacrifice for sin available and no other way to come to God. Only judgment remains (Hebrews 10:27). As for your references to I John, we should obey the commandments of God, but if we mess up, we have a proptiation in Jesus Christ (I John 2:2)
