Jesus Christ knew that Peter would be saved after fully grasping the resurrection:
Luke 22:32
[32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
On another note; Why would Jesus pray that Peter’s faith would not fail?
Meditate on that.

Nothing to meditate on.
Peter denied Jesus and he was saved and stayed saved
This in no way denies this.
It speaks to failure and return... the whole Bible is filled with human failure but then that does not jive with your works based I reach perfection message.
And the Lord Said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”

Peter denied he knew Jesus.
He got scared for himself.
Peter NEVER denied Jesus as King and Messiah.
Peter never went back to unbelief.
But even if he had, just as long as he does not stay there if/when given the chance to reconsider he can be restored. But once a person is turned over without remedy to their choice to not believe they can not come back, even if they want to.

Here's the context:
"14We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end. 15As has just been said:
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts
as you did in the rebellion.” c
16Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? 17And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness? 18And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? 19So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief." - Hebrews 3:14-19
It's talking to Christians about staying in Christ.
