JUSTIFICATION comes AFTER one is redeemed through the blood of Christ, forgiven of his sins and receives adoption as son of God (Gal. 4:4-6; cf. Titus 3:4-7).
Those who are JUSTIFIED are SEALED with the Holy Spirit of Promise who is the GUARANTEE of inheritance until the REDEMPTION of the purchased possession (Eph. 1:14).
SALVATION is eternal life in the new Jerusalem when children of God meet Jesus in the air when he COMES the SECOND time (Heb. 9:28) to be with him for ever. They will be SAVED from God's WRATH on judgment day (2 Peter 3:7),.

So Ed,
Just so I'm clear about what you are saying,
You aren't actually "saved" yet, you just have been promised salvation at some future date?
You are not actually "redeemed" yet, you just have been promised "redemption" at some future date?
You do not actually have "eternal life" yet, but are only in posession of a promise that "eternal life" will be bestowed upon you at some future date?
Thanks,
P70
