“There is a massive theological problem with what you are proposing. If we take sozo to mean salvation in the normal Pauline sense we are dealing with eternal personal salvation. Salvation from sin and the consequence of punishment and eternal hell.”

This is the typical CBMW view that sozo in this passage does not mean salvation. And he ignores Childbearing as a noun.

But Mark is ignoring what Paul wrote in Chapter 1 which helps us understand what Timothy would clearly understand about those who are deceived vs those who willfully deceive others on purpose like Hy and Al.

It really helps to get rid of chapter breaks and verse numbers and read these as they were meant to be read: As letters.
