I just ran across this word and am interested if anyone has had contact with it previously.

Re: salvific
It is frequently used in religious circles. Someone might say for example "the salvific importance of the cross comes from…" I would not say it is a common word, but anyone who reads serious religious stuff will encounter it now and then.

Re: salvific
As with Perry, this word is familiar to me. It simply means, "that which is able to save". To a Christian, the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus is the necessary and sufficient salvific truth.
