Are some Christians saved and some Christians unsaved?

Well of course. Human beings are not mindless robots, they are individual people.

Not everyone sitting in a church is saved, some are just there for their spouse, some are just there because their parents make them go. Some attend for years and even help in services and other functions for many years and then later admit they never really believed but went along with everything anyway. Other think just being an "official" member of a church is all that means. They live their lives however they want and think everything is good if they just attend mass or services once a week.

Others believe with all their heart, have genuinely repented and given their lives over the Christ.

There are also a lot of people who simply identify as Christian from a political perspective, but never attend church, never pray, live their lives in wilful sin and really know little to nothing about any of it.

There is a very wide spectrum of people and types.

This unfortunately is true but still hurtful because I truly enjoy the company of a lot of these folks. I will never forget the day when the Preacher told me there are a lot of people here that DO NOT want to be Christians.
