"As far as "salt", read what the Matthew Henry's Commentary » Matthew » Chapter 5 » Verses 13–16 has to say about it."

A good read .Thanks for the link.

From MH's commentary..."It (salt) is cleansing, it is relishing, and preserves from putrefaction."

Salt is used to restrain decay in meat.I don't think it's a stretch to say the salt of the earth restrains decay in deep spiritual truths.A lack of which would obviously open the door to strong delusion.

Enjoying your posts,plenty to think about.

God bless

That link addresses the "Salt" topic far better than I could.
