Bulldookey.
1) Hebrews 8:12 KJV is merely quoting the OT promise that was fulfilled at the Cross.
2) When David prayed for forgiveness in Psalm 51, he was every bit as forgiven as Jesus said was the Unmerciful Servant; a thing Jesus said was so before the alleged dispensation of the "body of Christ", right or wrong?
3) As for the "blotting out" of Acts 3, the OT sanctuary service says when the Israelite came and offered his sacrifice, his sin was transferred to the blood of the lamb, allowing him to return to his tent fully forgiven. However, the record of sin was recorded within the sanctuary via the sprinkling of blood and covered by a "lambs skins dyed red" roof...even a blind man can see the symbolism. At the end of the ritual year, it was the record of sin which was blotted out: forgiveness for it had long since been bestowed.

I will continue to pray for you and that you will abandon your belief in being able under your flawed human ability to maintain your obedience to the law instead of relying and trusting Jesus and His price to give, keep and seal you through His blood sacrifice. I will also pray that you see how judgmental you are towards those of us who believe and know we are saved by and through the Blood of Jesus and that we are "sealed" by the Holy Spirit. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

1 Corinthians 12:27
Now you are Christ’s body, and individually members of it.
Romans 12:4-5
For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
The "Body of Christ" is not a concept. We saved members are all the "Body of Christ."

His commands are not static in scripture, revelation is revealed over time, things change , The programme changes .. Before the cross he was still teaching to observe the sabbath, circumcision, abstaining from pork , only preach to Israel , He literally tells his disciples in the Gospels, only Preach to Jews / Israel. He literally says he was not sent but unto Israel . Did Jesus command to only preach to the Jews change ?
ICUMI, I've already posted my belief in the futility of attempting to earn salvation and the excerpt below is taken from that earlier post here: https://christianchat.com/threads/not-by-works.146296/post-4528558
I appreciate your prayers and am well aware perfect obedience in thought, word, and practice cannot merit us even one foot off the ground when the saints rise to meet Jesus, as He plainly said in Luke 17:10 KLV:

"So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do." - Luke 17:10 KJV
You keep getting bogged down in minutia and that's why you'll never come to spiritual enlightenment on this issue.
Salvation is the same in the OT as it is in the NT: trust God for both pardon and power to stop doing the things that made the Cross necessary in the first place. From Genesis to Revelationk you will find absolutely no deviation from this explicitly stated will of God.
