Those whom Christ died for and rose again, their vital Salvation is most certain, this is true because, even though they are born into this world as spiritually dead sinners as the rest of mankind, and are BY NAURE children of wrath [worthy of wrath] as others, nevertheless even then they are already seated in the Heavenly Places in Christ Jesus Eph 2:6
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
This is a fact even before they believe, their believing, repenting, or any other Gospel Obedience had nothing to do with it !
However it is this fact that makes it certain and imperative that they shall be quickened vitally or made alive by Christ 1 Cor 15:45
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. or Life giving Spirit !
45 So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.ASV
This Life giving is a communication of that Resurrected Life they share with their Head and Saviour, their Captain of their Salvation, its a Life they had already Legally Rom 5:18
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
They had it legally as they sit together with Him in the Heavenlies, but He also makes them partake of it vitally while on Earth, and this is most certain to happen because of the Legal position they have in Christ already at the Right Hand of God, having had all their sins purgedHeb 1:3
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
And all for whom He died and rose legally sat down together with Him at the Right Hand of the Majesty on High, even having not yet been born sinners dead in trespasses and sins yet !
