I've studied many faiths. And they all make us think salvation comes from
becoming a "superior" type of human. But my understanding is, that salvation doesn't come from becoming perfect, but accepting our imperfections.
Forgiveness is the key to releasing onesself from all the karmic debt,
and freeing onesself from this material world.

Salvation
This word is used of the deliverance of the Israelites from the Egyptians (Exodus 14:13), and of deliverance generally from evil or danger. In the New Testament it is specially used with reference to the great deliverance from the guilt and the pollution of sin wrought out by Jesus Christ, "the great salvation" (Hebrews 2:3). (See REDEMPTION; REGENERATION .)
Redemption
the purchase back of something that had been lost, by the payment of a ransom. The Greek word so rendered is apolutrosis , a word occurring nine times in Scripture, and always with the idea of a ransom or price paid, i.e., redemption by a lutron (see Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45). There are instances in the LXX. Version of the Old Testament of the use of lutron in man's relation to man (Leviticus 19:20; 25:51; Exodus 21:30; Numbers 35:31,32; Isaiah 45:13; Proverbs 6:35), and in the same sense of man's relation to God (Numbers 3:49; 18:15).
Regeneration
only found in Matthew 19:28 and Titus 3:5. This word literally means a "new birth." The Greek word so rendered (palingenesia) is used by classical writers with reference to the changes produced by the return of spring. In Matthew 19:28 the word is equivalent to the "restitution of all things" (Acts 3:21). In Titus 3:5 it denotes that change of heart elsewhere spoken of as a passing from death to life (1 John 3:14); becoming a new creature in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17); being born again (John 3:5); a renewal of the mind (Romans 12:2); a resurrection from the dead (Ephesians 2:6); a being quickened (2:1,5).

Experience of Salvation:
In infinite love and mercy God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, so that in Him we might be made the righteousness of God. Led by the Holy Spirit we sense our need, acknowledge our sinfulness, repent of our transgressions, and exercise faith in Jesus as Lord and Christ, as Substitute and Example. This faith which receives salvation comes through the divine power of the Word and is the gift of God's grace. Through Christ we are justified, adopted as God's sons and daughters, and delivered from the lordship of sin. Through the Spirit we are born again and sanctified; the Spirit renews our minds, writes God's law of love in our hearts, and we are given the power to live a holy life. Abiding in Him we become partakers of the divine nature and have the assurance of salvation now and in the judgment. (2 Cor. 5:17-21; John 3:16; Gal. 1:4; 4:4-7; Titus 3:3-7; John 16:8; Gal. 3:13, 14; 1 Peter 2:21, 22; Rom. 10:17; Luke 17:5; Mark 9:23, 24; Eph. 2:5-10; Rom. 3:21-26; Col. 1:13, 14; Rom. 8:14-17; Gal. 3:26; John 3:3-8; 1 Peter 1:23; Rom. 12:2; Heb. 8:7-12; Eze. 36:25-27; 2 Peter 1:3, 4; Rom. 8:1-4; 5:6-10.)

Salvation means being born again. It's a journey inside your soul to dominate the devil inside. There's no proven method but you should find God in your heart and ask him to guide you through continuous prayer
I would not go through certain advertised brands of faith and religion because most of the sellers (clergymen) are just merchants that can't even save themselves from lust and greed.

Salvation is the act of producing saliva (drool)
Its caused in response to seeing or smelling good food, sleeping with your mouth open, or having a numb mouth from the dentist.

There is salvation through Jesus Christ and Him alone. As soon as we confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts that Jesus is who He says He is, believing that He is the Son of God, believing that he died on a cross, was buried, and rose again from the dead - the Holy Spirit comes into our hearts and resides there - that is true salvation.

Salvation is the acceptance of Jesus Christ as you personal saviour. It can be achieved when you confess your sins to him and get baptised as a symbol of rebirth.
