If you mean salvation as in deliverance from death, Roy is not delivered from his actual death but in a sense does find salvation in the in the truth that he has lived more and seen more than any human. He dies in peace.
If you mean salvation as in deliverance from sin, his killing was just, as you say, because they were responsible in some degree to his slavery.
I don't see how Deckard's humanity is at all relevant to Roy's salvation. Either way, Deckard is imparted with the message that life is precious and fleeting regardless of how long. This is why Gaff's comment "It's too bad she won't live; but then again, who does?" is so profound. If the ambiguity of Deckard's humanity is resolved, then the analogy between humans and replicants just becomes a conceptual footnote. Deckard's humanity should remain ambiguous in order to raise the question of what is the real difference?
