We are not perfect beings though, we follow Christ and turn away from sin, that does not free us from sinning again. What you are suggesting is when we follow Christ, we become perfect which matches this heresy.
Pelagianism is the belief that original sin did not taint human nature and that mortal will is still capable of choosing good or evil without special divine aid. This theological theory is named after the British monk Pelagius (354–420 or 440), although he denied, at least at some point in his life, many of the doctrines associated with his name. Pelagius was identified as an Irishman by Saint Jerome.[1] Pelagius taught that the human will, as created with its abilities by God, was sufficient to live a sinless life, although he believed that God's grace assisted every good work. Pelagianism has come to be identified with the view (whether taught by Pelagius or not) that human beings can earn salvation by their own efforts.
We are not talking about Palagianism. We are talking about redemption through Christ who crushed the head of the serpent. And in Him we are saved. Through baptism we are cleansed from original sin and through the application of Christ teachings we become perfect.The Holy Spirit comes upon us are we are holy. We do not stay in a perpetual state of original sin. To believe that -is to( not) believe what Christ did.
That is heresy.
