“Saved” yes….”reconciled” no. Those in Abraham’s bosom who died in the old dispensation didn’t have “faith” nor were they “saved” in the New Testament sense, however, they were reconciled to God.
The point is…UR teaches that those who do not have faith will not be saved from God’s punishment. They will endure it until they have paid the price and are reconciled to God.
Don’t confuse the ultimate reconciliation of the unsaved with the salvation of the saved.
