“Other Tradition(s) regarding teachings necessary for salvation are the Seven Sacraments, most of which the Catholic Church posits as normative for salvation.”

Unless you demonstrate that something WAS a tradition at the time of the Apostles, it was not Apostolic Tradition. Until you demonstrate that, you have not answered the question.

Exactly! And all they are left with is faith in men relying on word of mouth passed through untold generations. Even secular laws understand that to be unreliable.

Last night, I saw upon the stair;
A little man who wasn't there.

He wasn't there again today;
Oh how I wish he'd go away.
