Of course, that's not at all the issue before us. You are simply TRYING to circumvent the issue ... and insert your assumption that a gift not accepted thus never existed and wasn't offered.
AGAIN, if I offer you a Porsche 911 and you won't take it - you thus don't have it, but that's UNRELATED to whether the Porsche exists and it was offered to you. The issue is NOT whether forgiveness was not accepted, it's whether Christ did not die for that sin.
AGAIN, Protestants accept Sola Gratia - Solus Christus - Soli Fide as one, singular, united, view. We reject any concept of Sola Gratia - Solus Christus, cujuscumque fide. Sins are NOT unforgiven because the blood of Jesus was insufficient but because there is no faith/repentance.... they don't have the gift NOT because Jesus' couldn't or didn't offer it but because they didn't accept it.
