Because unbelievers will not inherit the Kingdom of God, they are known for by the sins they do. Believers, however, have been cleansed from those sins and are now known only as belonging to Christ. While believers may fall into those sins, their identity is in christ.
This is how I view that portion chapter 6. It’s a warning and a stern passage about why we shouldn’t take fellow believers to court and has the rational for that message. I don’t see it as a warning about believers who are saved by Grace, that they will be cast into an out darkness for 1,000 years to be transformed further.

Adding onto this because I found something else...
1 Corinthians 6:1 Recovery Version
Does any one of you who has a case against another dare to be judged before the unrighteous* and not before the saints?
*The unbelievers, who are unrighteous, unjust, before God. (Footnote from Recovery Version)
1 Corinthians 6:9 Recovery Version
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit* the Kingdom of God?...
*To inherit the Kingdom in the next age is a reward to the saints who seek righteousness. (Footnote from Recovery Version)
The recovery version changes who the "unrighteous" are in order to mold the text to fit their doctrine. In verse 1, they say the unrighteous are unbelievers, and in verse 9 they say the unrighteous are believers. But in between those verses, Paul never changes who the "unrighteous" are.
This is how you can debunk this doctrine, is by showing how it's made up and not found in the biblical text. The footnotes say one thing, but the bible says something different.
