Up front, I would say no, the "heart" is not perfect after regeneration. And rather than give my reasons why I hold that position, perhaps to stimulate the discussion, I would ask the following questions:

1. What is the meaning of "heart" in the Ezekiel passage?
2. What actually occurs in regeneration?
3. What is the meaning(s) of flesh in Scripture? And which definition applies to your initial question?
