As long as you do not get fooled into accepting the Beast’s buying and selling license, you are correct; it doesn’t have to affect your salvation.
But what it could affect is your ability to be ready and be taken to the place in the desert where we will be protected. And that could set you up for some tough times during the Trib.
1John Ch 1 best tells what your salvation depends on.

I was discussing this with my dad and granddad. Both said that back in the 70’s there was this big deal about the Rapture and how everyone was running around saying it’s going to happen real soon; a guy by the name of Hal Lindsey(sp) was some sort of guru on it. And of course nothing happened. Now it’s the same thing all over again, Rapture Rapture, etc and that term isn’t even used in the Bible.
