If this is the case, then mortal sins cannot cause one to lose their salvation.

That is correct. If mortal sins are sacramentally confessed, with a firm resolution to sin no more, and absolution is given, there is still a chance of salvation.

St Paul participated in the murder of the martyr St. Stephen, but Paul himself is now a saint.

Paul wasn’t a Christian at that point.

Saved people cannot go to hell because hell is exactly what they are saved from.

No such thing as a saved person in hell.

If a person is in hell, they haven’t been saved from anything.
