yes:
1 John 1:8-10, "
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us."
HOWEVER:
1 John 2:1-2, "My little children,
I write these things to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father: Yahshua Messiah, the Righteous; and He is the sacrifice of atonement for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."
1 John 3:4, "Whoever commits sin* (#G266), transgresses also the Law; for sin is the transgression of the Law."
*#G266 hamartian ἁμαρτίαν sin
1 John 5:18, "We know that everyone having been born of YHWH does not sin* (#G264), but the one having been born of YHWH guards himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.”
, to me the above verses in the greek show the difference between sinning and living a life of sin...
Also this is an awesome explanation:
John 8:34-36, “יהושע answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone doing sin is a servant of sin. And the servant does not stay in the house forever – a son stays forever. If, then, the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”

I agree with you If you are Interpreting 1 John 1:9 to be talking about before salvation and not a continuous asking for forgiveness.
1 John 1:9
King James Version(KJV)
9.)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
