That is exactly the heresy. If we are in sin no we are not just automatically considered to be righteous because Christ is righteous.
We are only righteous if we are righteous even as he is righteous.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 1 John 3:7
In truth this is the error that Apostolic New Testament Christians have swallowed en mass and is destroying the harvest at this time.
