I think Romans 3:19-31 explains the contrast between the two.


How so? LDS accept all Bible verses including those.

"The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them.” Psalm 145:18-19 ESV

I don't see anything evil about wanting to save the dead.


While not "saving" per se, prayers for souls in purgatory was common enough
a Catholic practice that it was suggested to me in the early 90's.
