Arcana Coelestia #2442
2442. 'And Lot came to Zoar' means that those with the affection for truth are saved. This is clear from the meaning of 'Zoar' as the affection for truth, dealt with in 2439. From this it also becomes clear that even people who are governed by faith are saved provided there is good within their faith, that is, they are moved by an affection for the truths of faith for the sake of good, that is, originating in good. The entire life of faith has no other source. That charity is the essential element of faith, indeed that it is faith itself because it is the very substance of faith, see 379, 389, 654, 724, 809, 916, 1162, 1176, 1798, 1799, 1834, 1844, 2049, 2116, 2189, 2190, 2228, 2261, 2343, 2349, 2417.
