Though the sin has a mortal cost/consequence, and affects the ease in which we feel able to enjoy our relationship with God, for those who are 'in christ' it can no longer separate us forever from God. <BR/><BR/>The term 'sinner saved by Grace' is wholly appropriate when considering our state at the point of conversion.
