We are saved because Jesus Christ loved us and gave Himself as a ransom for our sins.

BAPTISM is essential to salvation whether you like it or not as it is when we are united with him and HIS WORK in a covenant death and arise to fulness of life. You are correct that is the "SOURCE" of our salvation which was his work. We still must respond to CONTINUE TO ABIDE IN HIM! Thus salvation is synergistic with a monergistic source!
