I have theorized the savings ratio is at best 1 in 100 and at worst 1 in 300.

"But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them" (Matt. 22.5,6).

vv.5-6 “But they made light of it”—This depicts exactly the situation on the day of Pentecost. Even though 3,000 and later 5,000 in Jerusalem were saved, yet they were but a little flock compared to the great multitudes gathered in that city. According to the Jewish historian Josephus, on the day when Christ was crucified there were gathered together three million people in Jerusalem.

8000 / 3,000,000 = 1 in 375 people are saved.
