I think you are missing lots of verses, thinking they don't apply to believers, but only to the unbelievers.
After reading these verses, being called just a "sinner" is prolly the nicest thing someone could say about a believer.

Good verses (as they all are) with lots of bad activities! However, there is nothing in them that specifically calls or identifies believers as "sinners."
So the verse following your citation in I Cor 6:11 says,
"And that is what some of you WERE. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." Notice the past tense of "that is what some of you
were. And then we were washed, sanctified & justified.
The point being this - who calls us sinners now? Is it God? NO! If you think you have a specific passage where we (born-again, regenerated, called-out ones) are designated as sinners, let's fellowship about it!
