It's not that complicated Luke, God made it simple.
Did you invite and receive Christ in your heart or not?
If not, if doubtful, then get down on your knees right now and DO IT.
Don't get up until you have done it!
Afterward, write down the date in your Bible, and claim it.
I suspect your problem is you don't believe God's Word.
Get your focus off yourself and take God at His Word.
Claim these verses:
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name -- John 1:12
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. -- Eph. 2:8-9
Remember these points:
1. We are carnal, sold under sin. Romans 7:14
2. Sin still dwells in our body until the day we leave it. Romans 7:20
3. The war a believer fights in the same one Paul fought, do you think HE was saved? Romans 7:23
Read the entire passage about the "war on the flesh" here in Romans 7:14-25
