Listen, no one is SAVED until they get to heaven. The Bible says
Actually, Scripture speaks of salvation in THREE verb tenses: past (I have been saved), present (I am saved) and future (I have hope of being saved).

Sorry, I'm not seeing your case. If you feel compelled to follow Jewish dietary restrictions, then do that. Based on Mark, no Christian should feel any religious obligation to do so.

to which being joined is absolutely necessary for salvation.

This contradicts to the salvation of one of the robbers crucified with our Lord Jesus Christ. The robber never joined any church, Orthodox or not, and yet met Jesus in paradise that same day. Powerful!!!

Jesus is stronger than all churches together. Only He can save. Church has no power to save. Jesus only. Jesus only.

Quite true. Therein lies the subject of justification (having been saved) and sanctification (am being saved). Thank you for this good post and the thread on sanctification.

You are using Protestant semantics. The former Catholic semantics were that what you call justification and sanctification were BOTH justification/salvation to us. However, after our dialogues with the Lutherans, they and we have developed a common language: initial justification and ongoing salvation/sanctification. Interesting, yes?
