This makes sense to me ... I think I may have discussed this with you before, not sure how far that conversation went but "saved" also is connected to the physical and the soul, not always saved (regeneration).
I would say a lot of what Paul writes is about the salvation of the soul.
When the writers of the epistles wrote they were addressing those whom they believed were an audience born from above, unless they are addressing an interlocutor as in the Book of James.
In this way scripture is not contradictory. Growing up in culture that uses "saved" many different ways I completely understand the expressive style.
