My question would be this; What would the purpose of a testing be if there was no hope of salvation (the Holy Spirit)?

It seems that this type of testing would be sadistic in nature and of course not in line with God's character.

Those sealed by God are not appointed to His wrath but there are no promises of anyone escaping tribulation.
How you pass the test (i.e. he who endures to the end shall be saved) determines whether you fall away.
