Don't lose your saltiness

Matthew 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.

Do we ignore Jesus' teaching to keep salty?

Note: Scientifically, pure salt, can't lose its saltiness.  But impure salt can... most salt in the ancient world derived from salt marshes contained many impurities. The actual salt, being more soluble than the impurities, could be leached out, leaving a residue so dilute it was of little worth.
