When I tie this part of your post in with the other part of your post where you say satan lies and tells us we must continue trusting, I get confused at what you are trying to convey. You seem to want to say we have the security of eternal life but have it apart from continuing in the trust through which we received it in the first place, by Gods' kindness.
So it appears to my understanding that you are saying you have been saved by the kindness of God, through trust, but continuing trust is now no longer in play because you cannot be disqualified from the "race of trust to the end" by not continuing to race at all. This is how my mind sees what you are saying.

again I ask, Because I do not think we can mix the two. and that is where many get into trouble, because they mix the two.
