“The thing that puts a damper on that idea that Paul is talking about our own spirituality is that Paul didn’t use the word for spiritual but he used the word for “saved”. “

The sense I’m thinking of is not that Paul is directly addressing the idea of gnostic spirituality but that he is hinting at it while directly addressing the true spiritual miracle that heals and saves us all. IOW it’s an underlying message, only likely because of the fact of the woman’s deception and that her deception may well have been gnostic misinformation among other things.
