I personally say no. As all of our sins have already been forgiven, there's no reason to ask afresh. Since God looks upon His children as never having sinned (as we have the righteousness of Jesus imputed to us) our fellowship with Him can not suffer.

Regarding salvation, once saved you are sinless. that's a once for lifetime thing.
But, in the here and now, when you sin you make yourself a servant to whatever sin/demon you gave in to. To break these bonds requires confession and repentance.
So, if we sin, do we need to ask forgiveness? No because it has not affected our salvation. But we need to confess and repent, because it does affect our afflictions here on earth.
