I am not so sure that that is true, we do know that Nic has been around from the beginning, but don't remember much evidence that shows that to be true for Cassius. Who knows, just giving up coin and noose as a sacrifice to save another might be enough..

Really can't see anyone Nic would ever save though.

The only person I can think of, he just killed at Hades' doorstep.

It is not about anyone else saved by Nic but his own soul. In the end Nicodemus is a victim of the fallen. He is deceived and led into his doom by Anduriel and Anduriel made him kill his daughter to trap him even more. I do not think there is a reasonable chance of saving him now but still the knights try, it is what they do.
According to christian lore there is only one thing he has to do to save himself whatever crime he has done in the past. Jim may not follow christian lore litterally here but the fact that Michael still tries indicates that it is at least theoretically still possible.
Think Faust and the monk here:

It is at the centre of what they do, it is in the heart of their nature. The fallen doom souls, it is what they do. It is their story.
Con:
hmm I wonder if thats the purpose of the mass killings by the Denarians. So that people in strife and crisis commit evil acts to doom their souls, so that they're sent to Hell where Lucifer and other demons get a power boost.
