well when you really become a christian you will have a complete understanding of the Bible & what God expects of you, at this time you can become in a "saved condition" your not saved till you cross the finish line.
(Matthew 24:13) 13 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.
(Philippians 3:13-14) 13 Brothers, I do not yet consider myself as having laid hold on [it]; but there is one thing about it: Forgetting the things behind and stretching forward to the things ahead, 14 I am pursuing down toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God by means of Christ Jesus. . .
(1 Peter 2:21) 21 In fact, to this [course] YOU were called, because even Christ suffered for YOU, leaving YOU a model for YOU to follow his steps closely.
(1 Corinthians 11:1) . . .Become imitators of me, even as I am of Christ.
Many have fallen to the antichrist (christendom with her false doctrines, trinity etc)
Do you really think you will have God's approval if you live like the rest of the world?
consider these scriptures
(James 4:4) 4 Adulteresses, do YOU not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself an enemy of God. . .
do you know what this means, you should. your life depends on it
(Matthew 7:21-23) 21 “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.

Justified means "Just as if I've never sinned". This happens at salvation. Justification
The noun, “justification,” is found ninety-two times in the New Testament (fifty-eight times in Paul’s letters), while the verb “justify” occurs thirty-nine times (twenty-seven times in Paul’s writings). Justification is the legal standing that results from the process of “being justified.” To say that one is justified from sin is not to claim that he is innocent of the crime; far from it. Rather, the term suggests that the offender has been exempted from the penalty he justly deserves. The “death sentence” (cf. Romans 5:12; 6:23) has been set aside, consistent with the righteous Judge’s system of justice.
In the case of the sin-guilt of a rebellious people (which all accountable souls have been – Romans 3:10,23), both the problem and the solution are set forth in Romans chapter three. The issue is this: how may God be just, and yet justify sinners (cf. 3:26). The answer is found in the gift of Christ. God set forth his Son to be the “propitiation” for sin (hilasterion), i.e., an offering of atonement, a covering for sin (cf. Hebrews 9:5). The sinless “lamb of God” takes the penalty for the sinful individual who submits to the conditions imposed by the Judge, God (cf. Isaiah 53:4-6). Paul affirms that these “beloved of God . . . saints” in the city of Rome have been “justified” (a past tense act with an abiding result). Practically speaking, justification is the equivalent of forgiveness, as well as the “in Christ” relationship (cf. Romans 6:3-4; Galatians 3:27).

Once you have asked Jesus for forgiveness for your sins, and you have accepted His unconditional love and follow in His footsteps every day, you know you have been justified.
"You said that those who believe You are Your sheep. Your sheep listen to Your voice; You know them, and they follow You. You give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of Your Father's hand. You and your Father are one (John 10:26-30)." Read the Bible (at least a chapter a day) and try to attend church. Follow the word of Christ and help others. (Proverbs 3:5-6) (Proverbs 2:2-5)

when you pay those churches all of your money than you will be replenished of your sins and reicive a certificate to show god that you have been good..
you are justified when god decides in the day of judgment.. there are 3 faiths with the same one god.. Judaism Christianity and Islam.. all have the same one god.. so its like santa Claus ... if you been a good boy/girl than in you go.. but you been naughty you go see mr Satan.. simple as that.. the church.. pope.. mr priest they cannot justify anything.. you have to follow your heart and read the book and find your solace.. not trying to find an easy way out.

it is the receiving of the Holy Spirit and being born again from the heart and a renewing of the mind.
When I came to accept Christ , I had the most awesome feeling sweep through my heart and out my veins to the rest of my body. It felt like pure joy and love refreshing me from within. I was a witness to my body responding to the sinners prayer.
