I would actually believe that your salvation is still guaranteed, even if you still don't believe. Isn't that how it would work if there were an infinite God and we were finite creatures? At least it seems that's how it should work.
Salvation wouldn't be necessary if there was nothing from which to save us. Did Hell create itself? Is God incapable of saving people unless he gets some kind of magical energy which comes from people prostrating themselves at his feet nonstop?
My pet peeve about the idea of Christian salvation is that we are asking God to save us from God, when you get right down to it.
