οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων τῶν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ ἃ ἐποιήσαμεν ἡμεῖς ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὸ αὐτοῦ
ἔλεος ἔσωσεν ἡμᾶς διὰ λουτροῦ παλινγενεσίας καὶ ἀνακαινώσεως πνεύματος
ἁγίου,

OUK EX ERGWN TWN EN DIKAIOSUNH hA EPOIHSAMEN
hHMEIS ALLA KATA TO AUTOU ELEOS ESWSEN hHMAS DIA LOUTPOU PALINGENESIAS
KAI ANAKAINWSEWS PNEUMATOS hAGIOU.

NIV  vs. 5  he saved us not because of righteous things we had done,
but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth
and renewal by the Holy Spirit.


Interlinear “not by works in righteousness which did we but according
to the of him mercy he saved us through the washing of regeneration
and renewal Spirit of Holy.


My understanding of this verse is that “saved” is washing of
regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.  Is it fair to say that
the
“washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit” is a point
at which a lost person is instantaneously saved?
