yes

 

[Jonaitis]

Am I correct that once we're made a new creation in Christ Jesus we go from being called sinners to Saints in Christ Jesus alone?

We are both.

If we see ourselves as only "righteous," the blackness of sin in us will humble and remind us that we aren't.

We are saints who still sin.

 

[Clare73]

Well, we are saints who sin (1Jn 1:8-10).

[Hawkins]

Am I correct that once we're made a new creation in Christ Jesus we go from being called sinners to Saints in Christ Jesus alone?

No, sinners are so-called in terms of God's Law. In front of God's Law we are thus all sinners no matter what. After believing in Jesus we are no longer under Law and are deemed righteous, it's all because of Jesus Christ. We are both sinners (Law breakers) and saints (deemed righteous by God through Jesus Christ and the New Covenant). We are holy only when we put continuous effort in striving for the likeness of Jesus Christ till we die.

[ViaCrucis]

Simul iustus et peccator (both saint and sinner). We're still sinners. We're sinner-saints. The old man and the new man co-exist in the Christian in this life.

In the resurrection that will no longer be the case, but in this mortal life we have to take up our cross and struggle against the flesh.
