It couldn't have begun with Paul since he was persecuting the body of believers until he was grounded. (Acts 9:4)

Christ is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, Col 1:15-19

________________________________________________________
I, the Lord call forth the generations from the beginning. Isaiah 41:3
And I believe that Paul was saved at Acts 9:6 , and 1 Cor 12:3 and 1 Tim 15 and 16 is the PROOF .

So Acts 9:4 just shows that Christ , as you said , grounded Saul !!

And where can you point to where SAUL// PAUL as saved ?

When he understood that salvation was found in Christ. The righteousness that comes from knowing Christ, the power of his resurrection, Philippians 3:10 CEB

In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace. Col 1:6

And where does Col 1:6 say how Saul / Paul was SAVED ??

God made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, Eph 1:9
He chose and set us apart in the likeness of His Son, so that the Son would be the first among many believers. Rom 8:29

Jesus who sanctifies and those who are sanctified [that is, spiritually transformed, are set apart for God’s purpose] are all from one Father; for this reason He is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters; Heb 2:11

And Rom 8:29 and Eph 1:9 when I read it says nothing about how Saul // Paul as saved .

So how was Paul then saved ??

Get over yourself danny boy.
He saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus;
