If they don't change, and they are just the same as before vis a vis 'good works' etc., are they "saved" anyway as long as they do the "the acceptance and belief in Jesus Christ and His Resurrection" thing?

That wouldn’t be the case. You’re presenting a false hypothetical.

Sure, there are hundreds of testimonials on the Internet. I’m sure you could find some of them pretty easily. Some are quite dramatic.

I’ve said several times on here I don’t know if annihilationism or an eternity in hell await the unsaved.

How would you know? You mock people who read the Bible and go to church.
I do not mock anyone, Christian or otherwise who try to live according to the commandments of Christ and I encourage all people to do that because it is the right thing to do.
