I think Saruman indeed shared Sauron's fate: he was rejected from Valinor, so he had to stay in Middle Earth as an impotent spirit.
To connect tp Cristianity: the Maiar Saruman and Sauron can be likened to fallen angels, like the angels who followed Satan. Sauron followed Morgoth in the beginning, Saruman in essence also followed Morgoth, just many millenia later.
