Yes, that is true; they were not perfect. But Paul, who had the Holy Spirit also affirmed that he was not perfect, but was pressing on toward perfection.

Not that I have already obtained [the resurrection from the dead] or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Philippians 3:12

Man judges a person by his past deeds, and administers penalties for his wrongdoing. God judges a person by his present character, and disciplines him that he may become righteous.
