Latin Scholars, please confirm translation....?

I'm looking to translate the phrase "Within Sacrifice Lies Salvation".

Google translate gives me this: "Intra Sacrificium Salus"

Is this correct? If not, or it's not the best translation, what would be your suggestion?

thanks in advance!

    I would say:

    In Sacrificio Salus

    You have to use the ablative case with "in" here and "salus" has to be nominative case.

    The form of the above corresponds with the famous

    In Vino Veritas

    Just a small edit:

    I did not use "intra" as this rather means inside in a local sense e.g. "intra muros" inside the walls - which meant the part of an old city that was enclosed by the city walls.

    My suggestion is that Hazel used Google Translate, and isn't paying attention enough to recognize that there's no way that "salvation" in Latin is "salvation".

    In sacrificio salvatio cubat

    EDIT: Changed "sacrificium" (accusative) to "sacrificio" (ablative), and "salvationem" (acc) to "salvatio (nom).

    my suggestion is "Intra Sacrificium iacet Salvation"
