God did not impute us with a sin nature.

My role is to continually be renewed by prayer, by God's word, by his spirit.
When I have done all I can & know to do--I reside in Christ & am only perfect
because of his perfection.

Depends on what you mean. If you are talking about a forensic imputation of righteousness to be delcared perfect.... no. Also no you are cleansed by the blood of Christ because you are walking in the light as he is in the light. Unless you are walking and doing as he did the Father per John 15 you are not his friend and lacking faith to be a doer and not just a hearer.
