I think sometimes it's hard for people to tease out the meaning of sinners saved by grace. And when terms don't get defined it causes confusion. Clearly, you and I understand that a sinner is someone who is not brought to life from death by the Holy Spirit through faith in Christ. But Christians, as humble people, still recognize they sin (as Paul himself did), and forget that he also said that it was no longer he that sinned but the sin that remained in him. By this he did not mean that he wasn't responsible for any ongoing sin (or why else not sin more so that grace may abound), but rather that his nature was not to sin but to love God. When Christians don't know their Bible or doctrine, it's not surprising this matter confuses them.
