Of course, the definition has very little no merit in reality, because that would involve questioning someone's "devotion", which cannot be measured objectively. And guess what, there is no one in this "realm" (if that's the word you'll permit me to use to express that particular aspect of your beliefs) can objectively define that for you. And considering that God isn't going to clarify that for us, I find it very hard to believe anyone can be "truly saved".

No, being saved isn't about how strong your devotion is. Being saved is about truly believing that Jesus did that for you because you are a sinner, confessing that He saved you, and repenting (which means having a change of mind) from your sins. This is a one-time thing and you are saved forever reguardless of your future. HOWEVER, once you get saved and realize how amazing God is and what He's done for you, you're going to WANT your future to be about Him. Does it make more sense that way?
