After all, the "saved" are superior, aren't they? Oh no, quite the contrary, we are Saved from the low estate of our prideful selves. We need a Savior, which means we are no better than any other human being on this magnificent planet. You should try it ...

But those who think they are "saved" also paradoxically exude a prideful arrogance that they are themselves blind from realising. After all, those who think that they are "saved" inevitably see themselves to be in a superior position compared to those that are not "saved". If this is not true, how else could these people who think that they are "saved" value their "saving"?

Besides, needing a "saviour" and thinking / pretending that one has one, is a distinction that needs a good deal of emphasis.
