Grace

PS...the adjective salvic comes from the noun salve, an anointment used to clear eye infections. I'm not sure if the word exists, but in my mind, I understand it to mean something that clears the vision and lets you see what truly matters, as is mentioned in the book of Revelation. The Laodiceans needed eye salve to clear their vision. Grace does that for us.
Romans 5: 20- "But where sin increased, grace increased all the more."
