For gaster, since as you said "SAVE points are specifically tied to Determination (as per Flowey's dialogue on the subject), which Gaster would lack as a monster, ergo he had no SAVE point"  Dont monsters have some determination, just not enough to have a SAVE point. Which is why the DT extractor came along, so he can extract the determination out of monsters and put into himself for his experiments and theories.
