I believe that Jesus taught a doctrine that, there is an eternal salvation (deliverance - Greek translation), and there are many deliverances (salvations) that his born again children experience as they sojourn here in this world.
Too many of good intentioned, born again children, apply all of the salvation (deliverance) scriptures to eternal deliverance, which tends, to them, to teach that eternal deliverance is accomplished by their good works.
There are many deliverances that born again children receive as they sojourn here on earth, due to their good works.
Those that have been revealed this knowledge are but a few. The scriptures refer to them as; the remnant. the little flock. the few, etc.
Those born again children, who do not have this knowledge, and are going about depending on the letter of the old law to deliver them eternally, do still have the security of their eternal inheritance of heaven, accomplished by Christ's death on the cross, but are considered "lost" from the knowledge of their eternal deliverance, and are in need of being saved (delivered) as they live here in this world.
God's , spiritually, ordained preachers are instructed to teach this knowledge of what Jesus has done for them on the cross to his born again children who are "lost" to this knowledge, and are still depending upon their works to deliver them eternally.
The scriptures do not tell us how to get delivered eternally, but they do explain how we were delivered eternally, and that was by the sovereign grace of God requiring his Son to go to the cross in payment for the sins of those that he gave to him.

1 Timothy 2:15 LEB
But she will be saved through the bearing of children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness with self-control.
