Paul was not saved while on that road to Damascus. While on the road the Lord told Paul to “go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.” Acts 22:6. In Damascus Paul was to meet with Ananias Acts 9:11 who would tell Paul “what he must do” Acts 9:6. Ananias commanded Paul “arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord” Acts 22:16.

So Paul could not be saved while on the road to Damascus because he was still lost in his sins and remained so until he obeyed God’s command to be baptized ans wash away his sins.

Faith alone, that is faith void of obedient works a repentance confession and baptism cannot save, cannot justify.

Again, we each are either obeying God’s will or disobeying. Nowhere ever does God justify those that do not obey Him.

You are trying to put the cart before the horse, that is, put salvation BEFORE obedience when the Bible puts obedience BEFORE receiving God’s free gift. One must FIRST met the condition THEN one receives the free gift. As Naaman FIRST obeyed by dipping THEN he received the free gift of healing. He was not first healed THEN obeyed.
