Of course saved Christians quit sinning after we get saved.
Imagine a man (we'll call him Frank) who spent sixty years of his life lying, cheating, and stealing, but then repented of that, got saved, and then did good works for the remaining 10 years of his life.
The works based religions believe that a good person is one whose good deeds outweigh their evil deeds. So according to those faiths, Frank was, on balance, a bad person.
According to our faith, however, those sins were all washed away the moment he got saved, and he didn't need to go out and try to make up for it because the debt has already been paid.
