No one "is" saved. Some are BEING saved or WILL be saved in the future
Even before I studied my Faith, a project that began many years ago and continues, it always sounded like fingernails on a chalkboard to hear someone ask: Are you saved?
Salvation is a process that ends in death, and not even then if the person ends up in Purgatory and 99% of us do, according to saints and (other) theologians. "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling" we are told in Philippians 2:12
There are many scriptures that say "will be saved." I will try to find them but you can find them as easily as I can.
Here's one from memory: "He who endures until the end WILL BE SAVED" (emphasis mine)
So we see that: Even enduring to the very end with Christ does not mean you ARE saved, but that some time in the future you will be. "Will be" is future - tense, not present-tense.
