CDA, it's more complex than that. It's not about saving people or the day countless times. It's about the "self doubt" character arc being discussed. So the question is more like "How often is Regina going to go through this cycle again? How many times are they going to tease this?"

Even so, the writers I think confirmed that Regina isn't the savior in this arc (or in any arc IMO)
