Mark,
In my view you seem to be thinking Paul is suggesting things that he is not actually saying in both 1 Tim 2 and Romans 10.
In both passages he is making perfectly true statements and not suggesting anything about other alternatives. You are trying to make statements mean more than they actually say. You have to read the rest of the bible to find out the answers to your questions.
If Romans 10:9 was the only verse of the bible we possessed, we would not know if Jesus was the only way to be saved. But we do thankfully have the rest of the bible to tell us that Jesus is the only way of salvation.
I agree with Kay that sometimes you need to put away the microscope for a moment, take a step back and look with normal vision, and you may be able to see what’s going on more clearly.
