2 Timothy 2:19 KJV
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Romans 6:15 KJV
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

1 John 1:9 doesn't say God forgives us because we confess. It says God is faithful and just to forgive us when we confess.
Forgiveness was accomplished on the cross when Jesus shed His blood for the remission of our sins. His sacrifice satisfied God's wrath toward us because of our sin. Because God accepted the sacrifice, He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins when we ask Him to. Faithful because He is keeping His promise. Just because His wrath has been satisfied.
If God forgives on the basis of confession, we don't need a Savior. Anyone can confess. Only Jesus can satiate God's wrath.

Ezekiel 3:18-21 KJV
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
[19] Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
[20] Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
[21] Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

Sure it does.
It says IF we confess. The implication is that we need to confess to be forgiven. There are some isolated instances where sin was forgiven without any confession but those are rare in scripture.
No, because confession only is valid because the price was paid. We still need to confess. The only examples of sin being forgiven is when the person does something very good and pleasing to God. In any case, we have to do something to be forgiven. The cross did not make it so we are automatically forgiven.

Amen!!!
Luke 18:13-14 KJV
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
[14] I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
