Saturn's Day certainly is indeed the 7th day of the week on the Roman calendar.  It goes like this:

First day is Sun's Day, with no other god coming before it like in The Ten Commandments. Thank Constantine for that.

Second day is Moon's Day, Sun's opposite; in the Levant, during the Mithraic Wars in which Rome was victorious, Moon went by the name of Sin, and to Sin was to countermand the Sun.

Third day is Tiew's Day, and Tiew was a lesser Teutonic god that was on the calendar established for Roman Britain's use. It's Mars' Day in Europe.

Fourth day is Woden's Day, and Woden is a greater Teutonic god, used on the calendar for Roman Britain's use. In Europe, it's Mercury's Day.

Fifth day is Thor's Day, and if you're a comic hero buff you already know who Thor is.  But he, too, is Teutonic for the calendar intended for Roman Britain's use.  In Europe, it's Juno's Day.

Sixth day is Fria's Day, a lesser Teutonic god and you got it--on the calendar intended for use in Roman Britain. In Europe, it's Venus' Day.

Seventh day is Saturn's Day, so yes--Saturday is the seventh day.  Count 'em--1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
