“See the difference is I believe salvation is 100percent God.”

No. I believe that salvation is 100% accomplished by God’s grace. I also believe we can be unrepentant sinners and be damned by rejecting God’s grace. I also believe we can become followers of Christ but then “backslide” (as Protestants call it) and lose our salvation. You apparently do not understand these issues. You apparently confuse one thing with another. I do not. God’s grace accomplishes our redemption and salvation, but we can reject God’s gifts through infidelity and sin.

“He saves and He preserves.”

Unless we refuse His love - which is what we do when we sin.

“I can not lose what He preserves .”

You can refuse His gifts. Men have done so. Hence, “backsliding”.

“According to Rome no one was saved at the cross..”

No, I think that’s your invention.

“Jesus is only the Savior of those that save themselves.”

No, Jesus is the only Savior, but men can refuse to be saved by rejecting Christ. Jesus doesn’t force men into Heaven.

“Yes He is just a probation officer..”

No, you’re just inventing things that no one actually believes. You have to: “To Protestantism False Witness is the principle of propagation.” (St. John Henry Newman, Lecture 4. True Testimony Insufficient for the Protestant View)

Who was saved at the cross?? Were you?? or did you just get probationary status there?
