Romans 12:5 - We are one body and individually body-parts?

Does Romans 12:5 have conditions?

Romans 12:5: "in-this-manner we the many are one body IN CHRIST, and individually body-parts (of) one another."

In Christ:

Paul wrote: "we the many are ONE BODY IN CHRIST, and INDIVIDUALLY BODY-PARTS" (Romans 12:5). We are "INDIVIDUALLY BODY-PARTS" (Romans 12:5) of "ONE BODY" (Romans 12:5) under the following condition: "IN CHRIST" (Romans 12:5).

To be "IN CHRIST" would be conditional. Paul wrote, using the conditional particle "IF": "IF anyone (is) IN CHRIST" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Someone "IN CHRIST" can end up being TAKEN AWAY by the Father from being "IN CHRIST", as Christ said: "I am the grapevine, YOU (ARE) THE BRANCHES" (John 15:5), "My Father is the land-worker. Every BRANCH IN ME not bearing fruit — HE-TAKES IT AWAY" (John 15:1-2).
