My point Martin, is not to question Who saved and how - both of which are so much more profound than we can understand - even in a literal recitation of Scripture, but more precisely "who" was/is/will be saved.  Our Catholic Church identifies baptism as the required "entry point".  Some others identify a direct and redeeming "finding" or "encounter", etc.  
Neither a literal recitation of  Scripture nor how people explain, restrict, or qualify through rules and rigidities are, to my mind sufficient to explain, let alone include the "who".
