The ungodly are on their way to hell but are not yet there. As long as a man breaths, Christ can save him. With his final breath, one may have contrition for his life of sin, repent, and freely choose to cooperate with grace, accepting the gift God so desires to give, which is life. A soul devoid of all goodness is unable to freely accept that gift and God's grace, therefore those who have any chance of salvation, they are not yet totally depraved.
