Can we obtain salvation through any other source?

Who only will finally be saved?
"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." Matt. 24:13.
If one has had the assurance of sins forgiven, but has afterward turned from his righteousness, what will be the result?
"But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die." Ezekiel 18:24.
In the parable, when one who owed his lord ten thousand talents was unable to pay, at his own request what did his master do for him?
"Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt." Matthew 18:27.
After receiving forgiveness for his enormous debt, what did the servant do to another who owed him but a hundred pence, and asked for mercy?
"And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt." Matthew 18:29,30.
What was then done with this unmerciful servant?
"Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him." Matthew 18:32-34.

Does one receive this salvation when he first believes?
"And that, knowing the time, now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." Romans 13:11.
How is one kept, or preserved, until that salvation is given? and when is it to be revealed?
"Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." 1 Peter 1:5.
Who will receive that salvation?
"So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation." Hebrews 9:28.
