Unbelievers are going to hell, not for their sin, but for their rejection of Christ. Yes, sin sends people to hell, but because they don't have Christ.
1 John 4:3
"and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world."
Christ changes us, over our lifetime we are being disciplined and chastised for cleansing. God never stops cleansing us, if someone thinks they never sin after salvation of their Spirit, then they need to look more closely at their heart.
Romans 8:9
"However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him."
The difference between the unsaved and the believer is that the believer hates their sin, they are deeply wounded and confess when they realize they have offended God.
The unbeliever is not sorry for their sin, they love it and defend it.
