What is your most foundational Christian belief? I think I might have to say biblical inerrancy, but prior to that, I believe God is Logos and Logos is is revealed fully through Jesus Christ and to an extent through nature and there is a sense in which the Bible is Logos in book form. So I almost rest easy (not easy enough) thinking my biblical inerrancy comes from my Christology. I would think many Protestants would believe in Sola Scriptura on a very foundational level, but I only believe in Sola Scriptura to the extent that I don’t ~know~ if any source of doctrine, rule of faith and practice, etc other than the Bible is God breathed. That is to say, I feel like I’m straddling the line between Catholic and Protestant or even Baptist if we consider that distinct from Protestant. I am not trained in rigorous thinking and would appreciate seeing others’ answer to the first question to help refine my own beliefs. Secondarily, I hope it may even shed light on how united we are.

Christ is the cornerstone. The foundational belief of Christianity is the gospel.
You have to know that you're a sinner needing a savior, and that the God-man Jesus is that savior.
Scripture is how we arrive at our knowledge of God, but you can be preached the gospel and believe without ever encountering a Bible.
Sola scriptura is our belief that scripture alone is the final authority in doctrine, as opposed to our feelings or additional revelation or the decree of the pope.
