Win XP: Security Updates after SP2 reinstallation?

Have reinstalled SP2 on my system due to various SW problems. Wanted to
reinstall all the security updates since SP2, but the Windows Update site
tells me that my system is up to date!

Is that really true? Does an SP2 reinstallation keep all the security
updates, and my system is still secure? If not, how can I reinstall them
(without downloading every single update)?

Thank you all in advance for any feedback!
Franz
