For the benefit of those who are just tuning in:
Hebrews 10
10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
10:21 And [having] an high priest over the house of God;
10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith without wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised
10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
pretty well nails home the fact that we are now addressing born again believers at this point.

verse
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
We, God's children believe to the saving of the soul.
(regardless of what the nay sayers believe)
Also earlier when you addressed abiding in the vine, that parable is to separate wheat from tares. Those who He does not abide in who are completely void of all actual good fruit since it can not bare good fruit of itself, to those He abides in, the parable in context has nothing to do with the loss of salvation. It has to do with the power of God working in us.
(to abide would be a descriptive term in regards to saving faith, not a requirement)
