Yes, saliva contains chloride. Saliva contains enzymes, water, and NaCl.
Cl gets into your saliva by diffusing out of Cl ion channel from the cell and into the lumen. Cl gets into the cell by 2ndary transport, a Na+/Ka+/2Cl- pump (electrically neutral). Cl is going up its concn gradient, while Na is going down its concn gradient. The negative charge on the Cl- attracts the postively charged Na+, and the Na+ diffuses between cells into the lumen.
