Can salvation be described as conditional in the Bible?

Salvation can be described as conditional in the Bible. 

If there is at least one condition existing in connection to salvation, then salvation can be described as conditional. 

You will find below evidences for why salvation in the Bible could be described as being conditional.

"IF":

The conditional particle "IF" can be used in connection to salvation. 

Here are some examples:

"IF anyone enters through Me, HE-WILL-BE-SAVED" (John 10:9).

"IF you-confess with your mouth Jesus (as) Lord and you-believe in your heart that God raised Him out-of (the) dead, YOU-WILL-BE-SAVED" (Romans 10:9). 

"you also ARE-BEING-SAVED — IF you-are-holding-on (in) that message I-announced-as-good-news (to) you" (1 Corinthians 15:2).

"MAY" or "MAY NOT":

The subjunctive mood can be used in connection to salvation. The subjunctive mood is the mood of possibility and potentiality, meaning that the action described MAY or MAY NOT occur, depending upon other conditions. 

Here are some examples:

"I-am-saying these (things) in-order-that you MAY-BE-SAVED" (John 5:34).

"I-also am-pleasing all (people as to) all (things), not seeking the benefit (of) myself, but the (benefit of) the many, in-order-that they-MAY-BE-SAVED" (1 Corinthians 10:33).

"forbidding us (to) speak (to) the Gentiles in-order-that (they) MAY-BE-SAVED" (1 Thessalonians 2:16).

Many other passages and expressions can be directly or indirectly connected to salvation. 

It is for example written about "the Sacred Scriptures being-able to-make you WISE FOR SALVATION through faith in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 3:15). Not only do biblical passages directly referring to salvation can be addressed, but also the "Sacred Scriptures" (2 Timothy 3:15) as a whole can contain things (directly or indirectly) related to "SALVATION" (2 Timothy 3:15) which can be addressed in order to make us "WISE FOR SALVATION" (2 Timothy 3:15).
