How do I know if I'm saved?

Salvation is this process of becoming united to the Holy Spirit in preparation of being judged by Christ. We know from the words of Christ that every person will die, and after he dies, he will give an account. This is why Christ has this famous section where he says, you did all these things in my name, but I never knew you. So if somebody is making the argument, oh well, I'm a Christian, oh, I'm saved, how can you say that? Christ literally says that people will come to him and tell him, I did all these things in your name because I was saved. And Christ will say, you are not saved. No one knows their salvation until they have the judgment of Jesus Christ. It is clear from the gospels, and no one can say anything that is more theologically correct than what Christ himself has taught us.
