Changed behavior is the best evidence of a changed heart. It is the result of regeneration, not a qualification for it.

But I would say that if outward behavior continues in a lifelong pattern of habitual rebellion over dozens of years, sucha person would be wise to question their own salvation.

I agree of course. However, from recent podcast of the White Horse Inn I've heard many different Christians make comments that would deny the efficacy of Christ's sacrifice and suggest that only by continued good works is your salvation secured.

I have heard this also and too much at that.
This is also many religion concept like for instance the RCC view, that is why they don't know if they are saved yet, and are getting save.

But, if I clearly taught elsewhere that repentance/belief alone was sufficient no one would think coming forward is necessary for salvation,or water baptism is necessary for salvation.
