No, I would not say that you are entirely correct in your reading. While "to save" is one usage of the verb SWZW, it is not the only meaning. It can also reference "to make well" or even "to prosper" (financially). One should not restrict it to a solely eschatological meaning. In the context of Mk 10.52 it is dealing with physical well-being so that "to make well" is a perfectly reasonable understanding.

Subject: [B-Greek] "Saved you" or "made you well"?
I have a quick question for the group. I am not an experienced Greek
scholar though I've had a couple of semesters. In Mark 10:52 the Greek
appears to say "Your faith has saved you" instead of the NASB "has made
you well" or the NIV "has healed you".
Am I correct in reading this verse? Any insights would be appreciated.
