When she refers to "salvation theology" she is likely referring to the traditional notion of eternal life through the redemption of Christ's dying for our sins. She points out her belief that this is not the thrust of the CofC and she appreciates how the Church focusses more on the now and the here rather than the then and the there. You seem to agree. I think you are just changing the general definition of "salvation" - which is fine, and I'm sure Margie would be ok with salvation theology, if it were defined as you do, and not as traditional religious norms do.
