No temptation is simply the offer of sin to an individual. It is being offered the opportunity to satisfy a good desire in the wrong way. One does not cease to be holy simply because they were offered sin other wise Jesus ceased to be holy when He was tempted of the devil.
Also salvation and sanctification are two different separate works of grace one can be saved but not sanctified but one cannot be sanctified and not saved. Salvation comes before sanctification. One must be cleansed from actual sin before they can be cleansed of original sin.
