I am not saved by believing--I simply realize I am saved by believing. And it is not repentance that saves me--repentance is only the sign that I realize what God has done through Christ Jesus.

Wrong.
Luk 13:3 KJV I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
WHAT DOES PERISH MEAN?
Quote:
G622
ἀπόλλυμι
apollumi
ap-ol'-loo-mee
From G575 and the base of G3639; to destroy fully (reflexively to perish, or lose), literally or figuratively: - destroy, die, lose, mar, perish.

Some will Perish, since they did not repent. And PERISH implies nothing about temporary punishment, but to destroy fully. Repentance saves from perishing.
