Can we lose our salvation?
In Romans 6:23: "The wages of sin [what we earn] is death, the free gift of God [what we do not earn] is eternal life." And several times in St. Paul, e.g., in 1 Cor 6:10, we see that we "inherit" the kingdom. Now when we inherit from our parents we do not say we earned the inheritance, though, on the other hand, by being bad enough, long enough we could have earned to lose it. So, as to salvation, "you can't earn it, but you can lose it."
