On the other hand, there are fallen angels and there are ‘elect’ angels. Were the elect once saved?

I wouldn't think so since the ones who did not go with satan never sinned and did not need saving. I would say, though, that they were protected, but not saved in the sense that we normally think of it.

One distinction between humans and angels is that angels had everlasting life prior to being condemned, while humans have condemnation prior to having eternal life.

Yes, but if we compare Adam with the angels they were both created sinless, but with the potential to sin. God protected today's Heavenly angels from sin, but did not protect Adam or the fallen angels from sin.

I’ve often wondered the implications of those angels who were not fallen, were described as elect, just as believers are classified as the elect.

Interesting claim. What do you have as proof?

p.s. nice to see you again.
