Only those who are immortal have reached 'total santification' in this life. We do know by record, two cities have done it and were removed to another concealed location. Then we have additional witnesses of those who never touched death and now living an immortal life.
However, there are those who have received the Second Comforter and in a sense, reach a level of santification but still retain 'agency' to choose for themselve to commit sin and capable in doing so. Problem with this type, they will have to pay for their own sins if not repented within mortality. Yet, these are they who will go to know end in repenting until their last breath.
The key to santification is given here but there are still others that must be applicable in life:
Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which santification cometh because of their yielding their hearts to God. (Helaman 3:35.)
