“Er... friend, nowhere in the Bible does it say that the Bible is to be the only source of salvific truth.”

What other source has salvific truth that is not found in the Scriptures, but is necessary for salvation? What is that non-Scriptural truth that is necessary?

Perhaps the Church Jesus founded (Matthew 16:18-20, 1 Tim 3:15, etc.), as well as Sacred Tradition (2 Thes 2:15, 2 Thes 3:6, etc.)?

But more to your specific point: if "sola Scriptura" says "if it isn't in the Bible, don't trust it with matters of salvation!", and if "sola Scriptura" is not in the Bible (which it isn't), then "sola Scriptura" says not to trust "sola Scriptura". Right?

So... if you're a student of logic, you'll drop "sola Scriptura" like a hot potato, since it's insane to believe in a self-contradiction (e.g. like believing in a whole number that's even and odd at the same time); and if you're a faithful follower of "sola Scriptura", you'll dutifully obey it, and refuse to trust "sola Scriptura" with matters of salvation.

Does that clarify?
