Until the sin nature is dead (i.e. when this body is put in the ground) the paradox remains that the believer is simil ustus et peccatore simultaneously just and sinful.
The perfectionist denies this except when he looks in the mirror.
If the Holy Spirit cannot dwell in an unclean vessel, then how does the Holy Spirit dwell in a vessel at all?? If you say that the vessel is unclean until he/she asks for forgiveness...then I would say that that is ignoring one conclusion to make the case for another because the sinner will not repent until he/she is regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
From grace to grave it's all the work of the Holy Spirit, with all the sin in between.
And that is why they call it grace.
