You're not wrong with your sentiment but i think it's pretty safe to say that if we find life on Mars it's gonna be trapped in ice somehow or deep below the surface. Besides having next to no atmosphere, it also has no magnetosphere which means it takes the full blast from solar radiation. Nothing living on Earth could survive outside on the surface of Mars.

Tardigrades could potentially survive, but they would starve to death.
