yes it is logical....the holy spirit saves without the written word. The written word can facilitate that, yes...but not always needed.
You are severely limiting salvation and how it happens often.

That’s not logical, because you can’t really know Christ and the power of His resurrection without hearing from the Word (though if God did tell someone about Himself through only the Holy Spirit, He would never contradict His written Word about Himself and His plan of salvation).

I would like to ask one thing: What takes prescedense? Your “Spirit” or what you believe is the “Holy Spirit” or The Word of God? What if this “Spirit” tells you some doctrine that completely contradicts A clear Bible reading of The Word?

I would finally end on this:

“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17)
