How can someone be thrown out of the church and handed over to satan be saved, which Paul seems to indicate in 1 Corinthians 5:5?

I have a question about what Paul means in 1 Corinthians 5:5 when he says, “Then you must throw this man out and hand him over to satan so that his sinful nature will be destroyed and he himself will be saved on the day the Lord returns.” How can someone thrown out of the church and handed over to satan be saved?

1 Corinthians 5:5

NLT - ⁵ Then you must throw this man out and hand him over to Satan so that his sinful nature will be destroyed and he himself will be saved on the day the Lord returns.
