<upd_detl>Encountered 済う yesterday.

A bit difficult to gloss the third sense transitively since it's usually in the passive. I tried</upd_detl>

Sense 2: GendaiSK, Sankoku, Daijs, Prog

Sense 3:

Daijs:
4（多く「救われる」の形で）悪い条件を相殺する。不安・不満などが一応解消する。「重病だが本人が明るいので―・われる」 「仕事がきつい上に給料が安いのでは―・われない」
Chuujiten:
3 《「救われる」の形で》 〈(悪条件の中で)埋め合わせとなる〉
   ¶通勤時間は長いが乗り換えがないので救われる. Though I have a long commute, it's a relief that I don't have to switch trains.

<upd_detl>It looks like the third sense is always in the passive. I don't think it's needed now that we have a 救われる entry.
[relig] is a jmnedict tag.</upd_detl>
