Yes, a person in a state of grace can lose that state through mortal sin. I read 1 John 5:20 and Ephesians 2:6 as describing the gift of eternal life, not its guarantee against apostasy. I'd lean into [CCC 1428-1429] on 'second conversion' as an ongoing, lifelong process for baptized Christians. It's not a one time event but an uninterrupted process for the entire Church in need of continual purification and a response to God's mercy and love. "St. Peter's conversion after he had denied his master three times bears witness to this."

One thing I love about the Catholic Church is that they provide the Catechism as a reference to the churches teachings; free and openly available to anyone who is curious. If you genuinely want to understand the Catholic position, I'd start there.

Eternal life is truly given, but it can be freely rejected because grace doesn’t cancel free will. Salvation is a real relationship, and relationships can be abandoned and they can improve.

At the core, I read the words 'he who hears My word and believes' as an active, living faith. I also read numerous warnings in scripture for believers about falling away.

The promise applies to the one who remains in Christ and not to a past moment of belief detached from perseverance.

It's a theological difference. But I think you already know this. Catholics understand faith as a journey, a daily walk.
