Doesn't the example of Demas in Scripture prove that true saints always persevere?

The following discussion is an excerpt from the Sunday Service weekly program hosted by the Church of the Eternally Secure (CES) streamed live on February 15th, 2020.

Question:
"In Colossians 4:14 and Philemon 1:24 Demas is referred to as a fellow-labourer which implies that he was a believer however, in 2 Timothy 4:10 it says, “For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica” Does this imply that even people we thought were beloved and saved like Demas can end up being a false convert and ultimately fall away in love with the world or in fear of persecution or tribulation because of the word of God?"
