The concept of being SAVED is in the book of Revelation along with many things concerning the kingdom of God.
For example to the church in brotherly love - Philadelphia Christ promises to [keep or protect] them from the hour of great tribulation which is coming on the whole inhabited earth.
Other English versions say KEEP or PROTECT or Keep Safe. These amount to saving.
Expect now Rajk999 to loudly protest that this saving or keeping safe is conditional. But that is not the point. It is a saving of which he said there is none in Revelation.
That is a statement of extreme ignorance.
In chapter 16 you have the late overcomers standing on the shore of the sea of glass (the lake of fire) as Moses and the Israelites were SAVED from Egypt and Pharoah through the Red Sea.
This singing of the song of Moses and and the song of the Lamb SAFE from the fire of the lake of fire seen in the glassy sea mingled with fire, should remind us of Israelites on the other side of the Red Sea - saved. But the enemies of God's people were swallowed up in that sea of judgment in the Exodus.
The word "saved" may not be there. The truth of them being saved is certainly there. And there are other similar places in Revelation.

"Because you have kept the word of My endurance, I also will keep you out of the hour of trial, which is about to come on the whole inhabited earth, to try them who dwell on the earth." (Rev. 3:10)

"And I saw as it were a glassy sea mingled with fire and those who come away victorious from the beast and from his image and from the number of his name standing on the glassy sea, ... And they sing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
Great and wonderful are Your works, Lord God the Almighty! Righteous and true are Your ways, O King of the nations!
Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy; for all the nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous judgments have been manifested." (Rev. 15:2-4)
