Repenting from sin is not what saves us; instead, we are saved by God's grace through faith, as explained in Eph.2:8-9. This faith means we believe in the good news that Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. Repentance is something we do to show our obedience to God and to thank Him for His grace and mercy, and this starts after we believe in the gospel. As Christians, we will still make mistakes and sin throughout our lives, and we should repent—altering our mindset: by renewal in mind and application of our doctrine, as instructed in Rom.12:1-2.
Paul says in Rom.1:16, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth." It is not correct to say that some people who believe won’t be saved just because they haven’t repented from their sins, because that would go against what Rom.1:16 and other similar verses say, which assure us that everyone who believes will be saved.
