Yes, I even know who Paul said it to. He also said to him, “... from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:15-17) Wait, stop! Behold! What wonderment! The Holy Scriptures were inspired before the Catholic Church deigned to canonize them. Timothy was made wise unto salvation by them before he even had the authority of the Catholic Church to move him to faith.

“Is it your point that Timothy was saved by OT scripture? Is this what the point of the post in discussion.”
A little crudely phrased. Let me put it a little better. Timothy was saved by faith in the Christ of God, the knowledge of whom he gained from the OT Scriptures. Yes, that is the point.
