I have an image sequence of 193 frames in the compositor. I want to save these edited images without either re-rendering the images (which took hours) or saving from the viewer node one at a time. Is there a way to do this in the compositor? Or, is there a way to view the composited image sequence in blender's VSE and save it there?

To get the Compositor output into the Sequencer, you must have the Sequencer in another scene than the Compositor and add a Scene strip in it pointing to the Scene with the compositor output.
Then ensure you have these settings(in Blender 3.0+):
Properties > Post Processing > Compositor to ON
View > Scene Strip Display > Rendered
Scene Strip > Input Camera
Compositor > Use Nodes > Checked
Nb. it's very slow.
The compositor renders what you put in your node tree.
The render layer node is responsible for rendering any 3d scene from the compositor.
Delete any Render Layer node, and the only render that will happen is the compositing of your image sequence.
