"They're all losers. Now I have a plan, and it's a great plan. We're going to round up all the salsa and send it back to Mexico. And were going to develop an American condiment that will be world class. I can't go into details right now, but it will be fantastic."
A condiment is a spice, sauce, or other food preparation that is added to food to impart a particular flavor, to enhance its flavor, or in some cultures, to complement the dish. The term originally described pickled or preserved foods, but has shifted meaning over time.

Find a more rigorous definition than Wikipedia. They use the rationale that because they're placed on restaurant tables that they are condiments. This is nonsense.
Pepper is a spice; salt is a mineral that masks bitterness. If you were to have said that flavored salt(s) are condiments, you would be correct, i.e., onion salt, garlic salt, etc. Even flavored pepper(s) can be included in the condiment category.
It has become common to consider any flavoring agent as a "condiment." Unfortunately, this does nothing more than muddy the waters and reduces the very real differences between condiments, which are combinations of substances, and spices and minerals which are used as single-flavor/effect substances.
It's an open and shut case. Every single savory food on the planet requires salt, at a bare minimum.
Leaving that particular subset of condiments out of the equation, I'm tempted to go with dijon mustard. Delicious on sandwiches, and an important ingredient in a variety sauces and marinades for chicken, pork or lamb.
I don't think salt should necessarily be a widely used condiment
in the sense that you add it onto food that's already been prepared. If the food is cooked properly, you wouldn't need to use salt (or pepper) as a condiment.

Plus, that's you opinion. How about you step forward with a reference?

Cooking food "properly" includes salting it during its preparation.

I know. That's what I meant. To me condiment is an add-on and in that situation salt is an ingredient. But, as with the conversation above, I have no references and it's only my opinion.
you that seasoning food is key to developing flavor, and they use a lot of salt. Not the table kind we are used to like Morton's, but kosher salt of artisan salt.

In that case, I agree.
I guess one way to judge it would be by how much you use it.
In which case in my house olive oil, evoo, wins by a landslide. We must go through at least 8 bottles of olive oil for every one bottle of ketchup. Sweet hot Thai chili garlic sauce would be next, about tied with balsamic vinegar. Ketchup disappears only slightly faster than those two.

Kosher salt is just a larger grain. And Mortons makes Kosher salt.
Wouldn't they be considered spices?
Those aren't condiments.

JERRY: What do you need salsa for?
GEORGE: Salsa is now the number one condiment in America.
JERRY: You know why? Because people like to say "salsa." "Excuse me, do
you have salsa?" "We need more salsa." "Where is the salsa? No salsa?"
GEORGE: You know it must be impossible for a Spanish person to order
seltzer and not get salsa. (Angry) "I wanted seltzer, not salsa."
JERRY: "Don't you know the difference between seltzer and salsa?? You
have the seltezer after the salsa
