I would say yes.  The only thing that determines our salvation is faith 
in Jesus Christ.  Tithing is done out of obedience and thanksgiving for 
what Christ has done.  John 14:15 "If you love Me, you will keep My 
Commandments".  One who does not tithe may not be obedient but that 
doesn't mean they aren't saved.

Peace,
Steve
