So the conclusion is: Disbelief is not a trivial matter. A person may commit many sins but remain a believer, though he is a believer with deficient faith. If I were to ask you, what is the greatest transgression against the children of Adam?
The answer would be: Killing. Killing is greater than taking wealth, and yet Allah the Exalted made the killer a brother to the one killed, saying:[Al-Baqarah 2:178] Who is meant by his brother?
The one killed:[Al-Baqarah 2:178] That is, from the blood of his brother: [Al-Baqarah 2:178].
And Allah the Exalted said regarding the two warring factions of believers:[Al-Hujurat 49:9] until He said: [Al-Hujurat 49:10] So you see now that the killer does not exit from faith, and the one who fights the believers does not exit from faith. So how can we say that he is not a Muslim if he shaves his beard or lets his garment hang down!
We say: He is a Muslim, but his faith is deficient due to the sins he has.

فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِanything, then there should be a suitable follow-up
شَيْءٌ فَاتِّبَاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِAnd Allah the Exalted said regarding the two warring factions of believers:
And if two factions among the believers should fight, then make settlement between the two
وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَاThe believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers
إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْWe say: He is a Muslim, but his faith is deficient due to the sins he has.
