Is it safe if a no-reset container starts with loot in it?

I'm just asking to double check... I'm updating an old mod, and for the sake of immersion, I'll be likely adding faction specific loot to certain containers to optional player homes (or the homes of said players enemies)... If... The containers can still remain safe that way. Does a container need to actually start out empty for it to be safe to store stuff in, or does it just need to be set as no respawn?

I have this really really really vague memory, possibly from a long forgotten dream from a decade ago even, where I thought containers were safe if they started empty, but... That was from long long ago, and extremely vague- I can't even trace back where that memory is from. Maybe a long time ago I saw someone say, that if a container started empty it probably didn't respawn way back during Morrowind's release? I don't know it's such a vague memory, and one that has caused me some level of confusion.

Also judging upon the fact that some non-respawning containers I think, start with loot in them- I think all they need is to not respawn correct?

I'm sorry if this seems like a painfully ridiculous question, but seeing as how I'm working on a mod that adds PLAYER HOUSES, this is extremely importance to get reassurance on, like I need to know for sure 100% before I go ahead and add pre-made loot to these non-respawning containers... I'm 99% sure, but until someone tells me here, I don't want to risk anything by going off of something I'm not 100% positive of.

So... If someone here can reassure me, that was just an odd memory or whatever, and that containers are safe so long as respawn isn't checked, I'll thank you and add a new feature to one of my old mods... Or if II had reason to think that all along I'll thank you for telling me that too, though I hope that's not the guess.

Morrowind containers don't respawn at all anyway, so they are all safe once you open them for the first time. :P Futhermore, you could open a container that had leveled list in it but it didn't generate anything, so that's not a really good indicator if it's safe or not.

If container is set not to respawn it'll be safe with or without loot in it. :)
