Reconciled to God while enemies !
Rom 5:10

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.


All for whom Christ died, have been reconciled to God, by His death alone, not by their obedience, not by their faith, not by their repentance, but even while they were being enemies, unbelievers, children of wrath as others BY NATURE, now if this be the case, their being reconciled, they cannot be under condemnation and wrath as others Jn 3:18,36 even while being unbelievers !

You see, they cannot be both condemned and under wrath as enemies and reconciled to God as enemies at the same time.

Sure they can. Rom 5:10 shows us that 'reconciled' and 'saved' are not one and the same thing.

Rom 5:10 - For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.​

While the following verse shows that all have been reconciled by Christ's death.

2Co 5:19 - To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.​
 
Rom 5:10 - For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

No it doesnt, it doesnt say they are not the same thing ! What it does show and say however, that those reconciled by His death while enemies, SHALL be saved by His Life ! Now will all without exception be saved by His Life ? No. so this still teaches a limited reconciliation and that Christ's death was not for all without exception !

Reconciliation and salvation are not the same thing. The verse Rom 5:10 clearly shows that reconciliation happens before salvation. I suggest you do a word study on reconciliation because your chosen definition contradicts scripture.
