If you're religious you get salvation in church. For secular people it is a personal journey of finding peace with yourself.

I think anyone can get salvation if they truly seek it and definitely not necessarily in church.

Personally Emmanuel, I don't think you are in need of salvation.
If we believe that we enter the world already stained with Original Sin, then we have to make this shady business deal with the Deity whereby we become acceptable --but there are other ways of following the Spiritual Path which are much kinder and more respectful of your spark of Divinity.
I believe you are part of everything, and everything is part of you. No "Divine Being" is going to cast you away -- your essential nature is eternal and cannot be harmed by anyone.
In a violent world, where our bodies are constantly at risk, it is easy to be held back by fear. When you know that your soul is eternally safe, it becomes easier to relax and live with love and compassion for others.
My spiritual life began when I left the Church to follow my own path: whatever you decide to do, I wish you well.
...and lest we get too serious ( a common failing amongst the religious) a short poem.
I dreamed I did die and to Heaven did go,
And where had I come from they wanted to know.
I said "I'm from England," and how they did stare,
"Come in," said Saint Peter....... "You're the first one from there!"
