What is meant by the term common salvation in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Common salvation refers to the unified experience and possession of salvation among all of God's elect.

The term 'common salvation' as used in Jude 3 indicates that all of God's elect share in the same salvation, underscoring the unity and equality within the Christian community. All believers experience and possess this salvation through the same means—by God's divine initiative. Importantly, this does not suggest that grace is common or ordinary; rather, it highlights the shared experience of salvation that binds all believers regardless of their individual backgrounds or circumstances. Therefore, while our salvation is personal, it is also communal, as we are all saved by one Lord, one faith, and one Spirit.
