I have salvation because God is good and I am good.

I am born again because God is good and I am sanctified because I am good! In all things God remains good "all the time"!

Jesus is the vine. If you are not a branch connected to the vine, you are no good. If you are connected to the vine, all your sustenance comes from the vine.

John chapter 15

as a branch we have to be trimmed and pruned sometimes close to the trunk, our feeder source and are barely profitable. As a branch we can bear bad fruit and we need the skill of good husbandry. (Does that mean branches are female and their source is husbandry?)

"Husbandman" in John ch. 14 means the farmer who cares for the vineyard. Jesus says God the Father is the one who prunes the vines.
The point is if you have any goodness at all, it comes from being attached to the vine (Jesus).
Jesus said, "...[T]here is none good but one, that is, God." Mark 10:18

the husbandman trims away the good he has automatically put into us. He trims away his good in order to get more of his good out of us!

Everything one may receive from God is by grace through faith, not of works, lest any man should boast. If our hearts are pure/sanctified, it is only because we by faith receive God's promise of sanctification.

that would be an acceptable answer if you believed that people not living sanctified lives have not God's grace flowing and are not born again. That is the answer consistent with Calvinism.

That's not scriptural.

I am easily confused. I am a logical guy and for some reason contradictory statements are illogical.

If I am good, can I be 'not good' sometime?
If no one is good, can I be good all the time?

And then there is the NO NOT ONE again, am I in the middle of one of 'em straw men again?

context

If you hold to original sin then none are good no not one

There is the view of deniers of original sin
