At the risk (or certainty) of oversimplifying this issue, some Christian denominations (Catholics for sure, I think Methodists, etc) teach that you can lose your salvation whereas others (eg Baptists) teach that you cannot, no matter what you do. American evangelicals mostly (overwhelmingly) fall into the "once saved always saved" thought process.

Both groups agree (at least in theory if not in clear instruction) that salvation is not related to what you do, per se, but for the first group you can act in such a way as to discard said salvation.

This topic can be discussed just about as infinitum but that's a very simple version.
