No one can be saved by reading scripture without Spiritual revelation. Scripture and preaching without the Spirit of God bringing revelation results in false prophets and teachers.
2Co 3:5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,
2Co 3:6 who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Scripture refutes you.
That is an assertion not proof
as noted you address no rebuttal
Man does supply the faith/belief in your dumb system which without you cannot be saved. Therefore they meritorious. The more you talk the more you agree with me. Thanks. Sorry but scripture contradicts you Romans 4:4-5 (KJV) 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but...

PS as was previously noted you take that verse out of context
2 Corinthians 3:6-17 (KJV)
6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
7 But if the ministration of death, written
and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which
glory was to be done away:
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation
be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11 For if that which is done away
was glorious, much more that which remaineth
is glorious.
12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13 And not as Moses,
which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which
vail is done away in Christ.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord
is, there
is liberty.
the spirit of the new covenant is Christ. The jews missed Christ and as a result a vail remained over their eyes
In the same way without Christ the glory of the new covenant will not be seen
Your idea however that scripture is absent the spirit is not biblical
