Technically, jesus does do the saving. the only initiation process is asking him to save you. Once that is done, you are forgiven for everything. Provided that you repent, you are also forgiven of all future deeds as well. The bible has several people who engaged in very sinful activity, yet the bible says they died as holy men. One of them was sleeping with his daughter, if I remember right.
