'salvific' turns up in the on-line Merriam-Webster (at www.m-w.com; since
you do use google now looking up words here is sort of un-understandable)
as well as the oxford english dictionary, second 1989 edition; it's been
in use since at least 1591, and has not yet become obsilite(as one of your
goole searches will tell you) - it's a pretty old and common word.
i'd sugest you do something about this comprehention problem (like
finding out what words mean instead of saying that the dog ate your
homework), as it seams to lead to mindless bickering too often.
also calling people with whom you dissagree 'idiots' is a posible
indication of dogmatism on your side.
scilence is sometimes better than noncense.
