The gift of faith may be defined as the special gift whereby the Spirit provides Christians with extraordinary confidence in God’s promises, power, and presence so they can take heroic stands for the future of God’s work in the church. The spiritual gift of faith is exhibited by one with a strong and unshakeable confidence in God, His Word, and His promises.
God gives all Christians saving faith. The spiritual gift of faith is given to some, who exhibit extraordinary amounts of faith in their Christian walk and who, by their faith, are a joy and an encouragement to others.

Nope I am not saying that, why can you not see that.
FAITH in Jesus saves and if that faith is a gift it's that gift (no plural) that saves.
You said GIFTS save, so you are adding another gift the gift of saving faith.
So if I read what I think you are saying it is this,
Faith + tongues saves
Faith + prophecy saves
and so on.

That which you heard from the beginning was Jesus Christ the source of eternal life (1 John 1.1-4). He will always dwell in you once you truly receive Him. He GIVES you eternal life. The 'if' is not conditional but is the equivalent of 'since'.
When My God saves He saves to the uttermost. There is no doubt about His ability to save completely. That is why He said, 'they will NEVER NEVER perish' (John 10.28)
