You're equivocating "salvation" there... I was referring to it in the eternal sense... but you're still wrong. Lot's wife and family were saved from Sodom and Gomorrah because of Lot, which you'd notice from verses 12 and 13. The angels said "Do you have [family] here?" These others obviously weren't saved because they were individually righteous, but on Lot's behalf.
It's true that Lot's wife was killed and that nobody else in her family suffered for her actions alone, so even if the blessings were poured on a household for one, the punishment wasn't -- but that would make her the exception, not the rule. Did I not cite the ten commandments as containing an explicit statement from God that he punishes children for the sins of their parents? Are you not familiar with the story of Jonah, how several men almost died in a storm just because Jonah was on their ship? How about the story where the Israelites couldn't conquer Ai because of the theft by Achan alone? There are many stories in the Old Testament where a group is punished because of the deeds of one person.
So the story of Lot's wife would only serve to show you that God is inconsistent if anything. But while it attacks the arguments about "God's nature", it still has nothing to do with whether salvation extends to one's family.

You want to get technical fine: Adam and Eve my Greatest Parents whom are the greatest parents to the whole world making you and the world my blood brothers ARE NOT ALL SAVED ETERNALLY even though we are all family. And you can't disagree with any of this if you have a half a brain. And by the way, Adam and Eve being saved by the promise of the Saviour.
