Then tell me what it means
So tell us what it does mean, citing sources.
Then what DOES it mean?
I hope, then, that in the future you will correct any Protestant who posts: “That’s not in the Bible!” or “Where is that in the Bible?”
Yes, what does it mean then?
Not rue, there has never been an agreed upon definition due to every prot group wanting to have it's hand in the pot.

Lies and obfuscation. Me, I'm laughing hard at Father Longnecker, for his believing that there are only three Solas.
The problem in these dialogues is that the word "sola" isn't employed with a consistent meaning by Protestants.
As to Scripture, the usual explanation is that Scripture is the first and highest source of truth; that other sources are not thereby precluded, just that ultimately Scripture is the measure. So here a more accurate shorthand expression would be prima Scriptura. "Sola" here doesn't strictly mean "only" or "exclusive," but more like "principal" or "primary."
But when the discussion turns to soteriology ("sola fide") Protestants are very clear that "sola" does mean "only" or "exclusive," assuring me that "works" have nothing whatsoever to do with our justification.
So if Protestants would use "sola" consistently (which they don't), there might be less confusion on the Catholic side.
