In that context, the word salvation is not being used in reference to justification, therefore, salvation is more than justification.
If it does not refer to justification, then you can not say salvation is "more than justification". The more reasonable conclusion is the salvation is other than justification. But that is not correct either. Better to say that salvation refers to something other than justification in this instance.
