BF you make the claim that the ""Atonement" saves.
The bible does not agree with you.

2. adjustment of a difference, reconciliation, restoration to favour
a. in the NT of the restoration of the favour of God to sinners that repent and put their trust in the expiatory death of christ
- Origin: from G2644
- TDNT entry: 05:18,4
- Part(s) of speech: Noun Feminine
- Strong’s: From G2644; exchange (figuratively adjustment) that is restoration to (the divine) favor: - atonement reconciliation (-ing).
katallage.
The meaning is first “exchange,” then “reconciliation.” Used only by Paul, in the NT it denotes a divine dispensation. Paul’s word and work are the word and ministry of katallage (2Co_5:18-19). They bring God’s reconciling action in Christ before people by an appeal which leads believers to “receive reconciliation” (Rom_5:11). In this sense the reconciliation of the world is a continuing action through the ministry (Rom_11:15). Theological Dictionary of the New Testament [TDNT]
