“What did your “Savior” save you from?”
An excellent question CC! You are a thoughtful lady.
And if someone believes in universal salvation - everyone
goes to heaven, just a matter of which level, based on
works - what are they being saved from???
Did the church of mormonism ever tell you the answer to
this question?

I understood that Christ was the Savior of all mankind. When I was raised in Mormonism, he wasn’t to be considered a “personal” Savior at all. He was simply the one who came up with the plan, the firstborn Spirit Child of God, and the chosen Spirit Child to place into effect the “plan of exhaltation.”
The Jesus Christ I knew in Mormonism saved all mankind from eternal death, but hadn’t atoned for any of my personal sins. Since then (the 1960’s and 70’s) there has been an evolution of the teachings, I’m not sure what they teach now. That’s why I asked the question.....and got no answer.
Good luck on getting an answer to that one. That's one of the little details that just get ignored in the debate here. I asked a similar question and the only answer I got was "crickets chirping".
