But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,

Being "faithful" is obeying God.
Not only to hold firm--but that salvation is conditional upon it:
Hebrews 3:14--King James Version (KJV)
14 For we are made partakers of Christ,
if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
Is a "true faith" necessary for salvation?
Again--the scriptures state that enduring to the end is a condition of salvation:
1 Corinthians 15:2---King James Version (KJV)
2 By which also ye are saved,
if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
Hebrews 12:15---King James Version (KJV)
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

Peter 1:9---King James Version (KJV)
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
