the rescue you can't earn, can't buy, and somehow can't stop being offered.
means The act of being saved or delivered from harm, ruin, or sin — and in religious terms, the deliverance of the soul from damnation.
from From Latin salvare, "to save," which gave salvatio, "a saving" — itself rooted in salvus, "safe, whole, unharmed." That same salvus is a cousin of salus, "health, well-being" (the source of "salutary" and the toast "salut"). The word reached English through Old French salvacion, carrying its theological weight along with it; to be saved was, quite literally, to be made whole again.
