One of the signs of a pretender is that they have no shame for their sin and even fight bitterly to justify it.
Jeremiah 6:15 ""Were they ashamed because of the abomination they have done? They were not even ashamed at all; They did not even know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; At the time that I punish them, They shall be cast down," says the LORD."
A believer would display shame when confronted about their sin. They may make excuses for it, but they will not aggressively fight against those that expose it. Eventually they will confess and turn from their sin.
1 John 3:9
"No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God."
