One is saved from sin in the sense that he is no longer brought under the power of sin. He no longer has to be a slave to sin. However, if he at some point chooses to rebel against God and despise his salvation, that raises other issues.

If a man who has been pardoned of murder later goes out and commits murder again and is then executed for it, would it be accurate to say that the man was never pardoned at all? I don't think so. The problem with your suggestion here is that it would ignore the salvation that exists now, namely: 1. Salvation from the bondage of sin, and 2. Salvation from the influence of this world system.
