Not sure if I understand you, Tom.

"Then save-as 44.1 kHz"

There is a step missing here and that is an SRC, or Sample Rate 
Conversion, from 48 kHz to 44.1 kHz.

Be sure to use a reasonably good sample rate converter for this.

A reasonable sampling can be seen here:

http://www.infinitewave.ca/SRCTest

Which shows that they´re highly variable as regards the distortion
introduced when doing a simple SRC from 96 kHz to 44.1 kHz using 1 kHz
as the signal SRCed.

Also the passband is highly variable some giving quite clear indication
of insufficient filtering giving rise to high levels of aliasing.

So choose accordingly..........
