Saved Soul

A Saved Soul is a (usually deceased) hero or protagonist in some setting, that has been confirmed as being, while dead, literally taken to Heaven (or another spiritual realm or astral state of peace and salvation); either due to divine intervention or protection, or the hero's own actions.

Examples

 * Jesus Christ: It is believed that after his crucifixion, resurrection and ascension, Jesus sits in Heaven at the Right Hand of God.
 * Anna Valerious, Velkan Valerious and their family: Were finally allowed to ascend and rest in peace in Heaven after Dracula's death lifted the curse that had barred the Valerious from their eternal salvation.
 * Buffy Summers: When temporarily dead after her sacrifice in "The Gift", she was cofirmed as having been in a heaven dimension where she was spiritually complete and at peace, until the Scoobies resurrected her.
 * Ash (Supernatural) and Pamela Barnes: Are both residing in their own personalised astral paradises in Heaven after their respective deaths.
 * Jo Harvelle: As noted by Dean, Jo's spirit (encountered as a ghost in "Defending Your Life") seemed to be at peace and happy.
 * 1, 2, 5, 6 and 8: After their extracted souls were freed from the Talisman, the slain stitchpunks' spirits were free to say goodbye to their still-living comrades, before ascending and disappearing into the sky to rest in eternal peace and freedom.
 * Albus Dumbledore: In the Harry Potter universe, though the afterlife was a mystery to them all, characters such as Dumbledore saw death as nothing to be afraid of for those who'd lived with love. Dumbledore's soul's peaceful state when Harry met with him in Limbo could only support the notion that for those who hadn't devastated their soul with Dark Magic like Voldemort had, death is not the ultimate damnation that Voldemort had feared.
 * Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda: They and otther Jedi like them all became one with the Force following their physical demises.
 * Optimus Prime (Transformers Prime): Became one with Primus in the process of sacrificing himself to the Well of AllSparks to restore life to Cybertron.
