“Nor is Salvation the same for each of us.”
Salvation is precisely the same for every man who has ever walked the planet. Those who lived during the Old Testament days looked forward to the cross and we look backwards. Regardless of the era, all the work for salvation was done by Him and through Him.

Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy
Salvation is indeed from Christ through Grace, but we each have a unique plan for Salvation. God created us as unique creatures, each with unique circumstances. As I illustrated in my earlier post Scripture identifies a number of possible things that facilitate Salvation. Many require our actions and cooperation, i.e.; works. Good works are required by God requires obedience to his commands (Mt 6:1-21, 1 Cor 3:8, 13-15) and promises to reward us with eternal life if we obey (Mt 25:34-40, Rom 2:6-7, Gal 6:6-10, Jas 1:12). But even our obedience is impossible without God's grace; even our good works are God's gift (Rom 5:5, Phil 2:13) and only direct evidence of the Grace.
We must each examine our daily lives and take an inventory of the Fruit of the Holy Spirit evident in our actions and our thoughts. Where these Fruits are absent so too is Grace. Grace is given to us so that we may cooperate with the Holy Spirit in passing it along and thus multiplying it. The Fruits are the evidence of our passing along the Grace.
Peace be with you
