What is certain is that not every major interpretation of the bible holds that aliens would need salvation.

But this would make us second class galactic citizens rather than them. Why should you and I need salvation from something someone else did?

So you've never committed a moral faux pas? We are sinful by our nature, we need salvation because of our own transgresions regardless of the debate over whether we're guilty because of original sin or not. It may not seem "fair" to you that we are flawed because of what someone else did, but that's how the cookie crumbled and it's off-topic to this discussion.

I see no Biblical contradiction if it turns out that there is an alien living on another planet that doesn't need salvation for one reason or another, regardless of one's take on original sin. You yourself stated that you don't find it fair that we need salvation because of something someone else did, yet you hypocritically imply that aliens should need salvation because of something someone in a different solar system did.
