You wrote,[...what is your understanding of the meaning...{saved}?...]
The word {saved} as used in your citation of the bible verse was trnslated as {saved} from a Greek word, {sozo}.
The word {sozo} could mean {healing}. The healing could be spiritually, physically or mentally. The word could also mean to be made {whole} It could also mean to {deliver} or {protect}.
