When God saves a sinner, does that sinner become sinlessly perfect?

It is written..."Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless." (2 Peter 3:12-14)

After the last day, the day of the Lord, there will be a new earth.

That is a completely different day than this:

As we will be raised to meet the Lord in the air at His return on the last day,

And is a completely different day than what is mentioned in John 11:24.

I can't even imagine that there are two "last days".

That's probably because you're not considering the fact that it's not just a literal "last day," but a figure of speech that means, generally, the end times.

You seem to be willing to risk everything on your interpretation being right.
But what have you got to gain from it?

Even sins God says are not worthy of death?
He said that about OT sin,
So now in the NT, yes, even sins God once said were not worthy of death.
Some OT sins warranted a "first" death, but NT sins warrant a "second" death.

You have it wrong. My beliefs are based on the evidence of what scripture says. I don't need to risk anything. My hope is in Christ.

Does God send sinners to hell without imputing sin to them?

Romans 5:13
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

No, He will not.
But as there is no sin in God, or in Christ, anyone who does commit sin in not in either, and will be cast away.
Sinners are still under the Law, for by the Law is the knowledge OF sin. (Rom 3:20)
