Many do not. However, let me take the opportunity to rectify this.
There is nothing wrong in asking for forgiveness if you know you have fallen into sin or had a moment of weakness. It is completely natural to want to apologize for your wrongdoings, but, realize that this NEVER affects your positional stance with God. Through a faith response to the grace gospel of Jesus Christ, you are once and forever cleansed from sin. As grace believers, our sins have been nailed to the cross of Christ, and we have, by the grace of God, received in its place, the imputed righteousness of Christ. Nothing can change our position in Christ and before the Father, so asking forgiveness, or not asking forgiveness, does not change or affect our standing before God.
The grace believer's salvation is forever secure and they are "sealed with the Spirit unto the day of salvation." (Rom 5:1-2, 8:29-39, 6-8; Eph 1:13-14, 4:30; Phil 1:6; 2Tim 1:12).
