Best Answer

Blessed salt is used to ward off the demons and their tactics. It is not the salt so much as the prayer that is said over it by the priest. Blessed salt, like holy water, is an excellent way to ward off the evil around premises, people, and the like.

The holy water and candles would be for the priest when he came to perform the Last Rites (confession Holy Communion, Apostolic Blessing, Anointing (Unction). Salt is usually used during an exorcism, and I have no earthly idea what the nails would be for, certainly no Catholic ritual.
