I can’t say any more than I’ve already said. I was raised in the church and have been active/around Christians all my life. I’ve never heard a Christian call anyone but Jesus their savior. I personally have never called anyone but Jesus my savior. Honestly, that’s the extent of it from my POV.
If others find this usage normal and natural, then that’s how it is for them. It sounds way off to me.
To say that I’m astonished would be an understatement-——uncapitalized it’s just a WORD====and used often
