Luke 18:42 English Standard Version (ESV) And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; your faith has made you well.”
Other translations replace “well” with saved. Which is it, to be healed or to be saved? It is both if we understand the context properly.
Vine’s Expository Definition of sozo G4982;
“to save,” is used (as with the noun soteria, “salvation”)
(a) of material and temporal deliverance from danger, suffering, etc., e.g., (AV, “preserve”); from sickness, “made… whole” (RV, marg., “saved”);
(b) of the spiritual and eternal salvation granted immediately by God to those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, RV “(those that) were being saved;” “were we saved;” ; of human agency in this,
(c) of the present experiences of God’s power to deliver from the bondage of sin, of human agency in this,
(d) of the future deliverance of believers at the Second Coming of Christ for His saints, being deliverance from the wrath of God to be executed upon the ungodly at the close of this age and from eternal doom,
(e) of the deliverance of the nation of Israel at the Second Advent of Christ
(f) inclusively for all the blessings bestowed by God on men in Christ,
(g) of those who endure to the end of the time of the Great Tribulation,

(i) of the deliverance of the nations at the Millennium.
See Salvation
Salvation is not just one thing. This is a long list of conditions that can be boiled down to one universal understanding. Sozo is to heal what ails us. This sozo is a continual blessing for those in Christ which covers, what ailed us, what ails us, and what will ail us.
What ails us? Sin.
Matthew 1:21 English Standard Version (ESV) She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
