Yes, we commit sins almost every day, for not say every single day. Sin is a bad thought, a bad reaction, a bad word or speaking bad about someone, looking at a person with lust, judging others, telling a slight lie, being in a bad mood, yelling at someone, laziness, and etc.
There are countless sins of which we commit many every day. Those sins have been forgiven by God through the blood of his son, but that does not mean that they are not sin.
Of course a saved person can sin!
Perhaps a better question is: Does God give everything that we need to live above sin?
I know that man. More importantly, he knows me.
Matthew 10:22
And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved.
Read Ezekiel 18. We do not INHERIT sin. Babies are born pure and innocent. Matthew 18 and Psalms 106:38.
One trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification
and life for all men. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners,
so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. From Romans 5:18-19

1 John 1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
The saved do not live in sin. The saved can sin. You are looking at sin from the wrong point of view. You are probably thinking of only sins that are unto death, the sins that if you live in them you will not inherit the kingdom (Galatians 5:19-21).
But sin is much wider than that, if you know to do good and don't do it, that is also a sin. You can sin on thought level as well I would assume. So everyone will sin. But there is a clear distinction between a saint and a sinner.

Why would you even ask such a question? Do you not read your Bible? Focus on righteousness.
