That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9.
To be saved simply means to be delivered from the power of sin and hell. This can only happen by acknowledging Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.
To acknowledge Jesus as your Lord and Savior is by believing in the redemption plan and accepting Him wholeheartedly, allowing him to rule and reign over your life forever without taking back your decision.
Being saved is not by the works of your hands neither is it the words of your mouth, but by the grace of God. Doing good does not mean that you are saved, you might be doing well but if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you are not saved yet.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9.
Salvation is not by going to church. You might be going to church and yet you are not saved. For you to be saved, you must accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You must believe in His death and in His resurrection.
Maybe you must have heard that once saved is forever saved. Beloved, once saved is not forever saved. The truth of the matter is that you must work out your salvation with fear and trembling. You must carry your cross daily and follow Jesus till the end. You must disconnect yourself from sins and disassociate yourself from appearances evil. You must abide in Him and Keep doing His Will.
