Exactly. In my opinion Saruman was not beyond redemption at all, and my personal belief is that in fact, the only thing which was responsible for his fate was that he continuously kept rejecting the redemption that was being offered to him over and over again. Actually I think he was being offered the chance more times than anybody else in M-E.
