The distinguishing characteristic by which Jesus’ disciples would be known was not speaking in tongues, it was Christ-like love. Those fruitages of the spirit Paul enumerated did not include speaking in tongues and no where is it suggested that so doing is necessary for salvation.

So I ask by what logic it would be a requirement for salvation.

I agree. What I usually hear is that it is proof of being a ‘spirit filled’ believer.
