In response to message posted by Adanmel:

I'd have to respectfully disagree that the Elves are like saints, saints are humans not angels. I do think that the Elves can be representative of angels and that is where the answer to your question lies, IMHO, Michael.

The Bible tells us that some of the angels fell and followed Lucifer when he was cast out of heaven, and while God had a plan of salvation for fallen men, He did not offer any means of redemption for fallen angels. Thus Tolkien gives us Orcs which he tells us were once angels and he also does not show any type of 'redemption' for them.
