Once saved always saved isn't permission to sin. It's the realization that there is always forgiveness for your sins. It's the realization that if you die while commiting a sinful act that you are not condemned to hell. It's the realization that if you die before asking God's forgiveness after commiting a sinful act that you are not condemned to hell.
Who here believes that if you tell a little lie and then die before you ask god's forgiveness again that you will end up in hell?
Who here believes that if you become angry your your neighbor that you will go to hell if you die before asking God's forgiveness?

To answer your question...un repented sin condemns to hell...period.
Who here believes that it's important to walk before God with a pure heart and a clean conscience?
Is the forgiveness? Certainly. The bible tells us how to attain it.
I John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If it were not possible to walk before God in holiness the John would have never written "that ye sin not" . Yet, recognizing that flesh is prone to wander he also wrote "but if any man sin."
I'm thankful for God's mercy if I do sin and confess it before him, and I'm thankful for the day by day walk in the Spirit that is able to keep me from sinning.
I tell people" if you sin everyday then you need to pray through". I believe holiness is sinlessness.
