Solution

In reality all ionic compounds are salts.
so there is no need to identify them.All ionic compounds, recognized as compounds which contain at least one metal or semimetal and one non-metal, can be considered salts except those that contain only metal(s) and oxygen and maybe hydrogen

Because you can always find an acid and a base whose reaction would formally give such a compound, even if in many cases such direct reaction isn't possible and the compound has to be formed in some other way.
