So, does this mean that salvation is “for sale”? That the sacraments of our savior are available only to those who can pay for them?

No, that would be your bizarre and deliberate misinterpretation of the actual facts.

Germany's Roman Catholic bishops have decreed that people who opt out of a "church tax" should not be given sacraments and religious burials, getting tougher on worshippers who choose not to pay.

Pray tell, where am I misinterpretating the facts? It appears that if you don't pay up, you are denied sacraments. Thus, if it's about money - those sacraments must be "for sale". It's quite logical, and seems pretty evident that this is the case.
