I thought about a poll but then decided not to.
I heard a sermon once referencing Denny Kenaston being at a meeting of pastors and how this question was asked in regard to a church. One aged pastor said without skipping a beat less then (something in the area of 5%-20%) I can't remember the exact number. This thinking in context of the Bible verses about the narrow way and how few would find it. The other side is talking about how a number no man can number in the heavenly multitude. Thoughts in context with the church?

Re: How many are saved?
Perhaps this is an aside, but I think it means they lack even the concept of a pure church. (Having the concept is not a guarantee that one will have a pure church.)

Re: How many are saved?
That is how many.And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day. For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6 :39-40
