In the Stories of the Church of Christ I noticed none of the restorers referred to immersion as the initial way to receive forgiveness of sins. I see no biblical evidence that immersion indicates salvation, or to join anything or to confirm anything.
Luke writes that God added to the church those who were being saved. That does not necessarily mean everyone being immersed was being saved. At the end of the day there was a group of people who had had their sins forgiven which put them on the path to eventually living with God for eternity. Saved they were not.
