I believe you should include them... so there is no misunderstanding.
Sola Scriptura: The Scripture Alone is the Standard
Soli Deo Gloria: For the Glory of God Alone
Solo Christo: By Christ's Work Alone are We Saved
Sola Gratia: Salvation by Grace Alone
Sola Fide: Justification by Faith Alone.

Here is my take on this as a LDS.
Sola Scriptura No, the cannon is open not closed. For the body of the church scripture is interpreted by ordained authorities.
Sola Gratia Yes, salvation is solely from Gods Grace. None are righteous. Gods Grace is a free gift, but it is made effective by our acceptance (choice). Gods Grace is not forced upon us. We appropriate Gods Grace in our lives by faith and works (the works of Christ that he performs though us).
Sola Fide I have been exploring what the ECF meant when they spoke of Formed Faith vs. unformed faith. But let me say that as Faith is focused on the belief aspect of the definition, LDS do not believe in Sola Fide.
Solus Christus Yes, but I would maintain that there are those who have accepted Christ through their embracing of the light of Christ that shines into the lives of all, and who might not appear to be aligned to Christ. After death as a result of their acceptance of Christ they will pursue the knowledge that leads to a more complete understanding of Christ, but it will have been through Christ that they were saved already.
(added based on Onesiphorus - The works of salvation are all works of Christ as I see it. Salvation is by Grace alone through Faith and Works, but the works are Christ's works He preforms through us. In participating in this we are united with God and thus saved).
Soli Deo Gloria Yes. I believe one of the more important aspects of this is that I believe every Christian must transition from following Christ for what Christ can do for them to following Christ out of pure love. Those who love God because of what He can do for them really only love themselves.
Charity, TOm

Onesiphorus said:
I will just keep this simple because I don't have the time to debate much anymore
Sola Scriptura:Yes but Whose version? There are several I use
Soli Deo Gloria: Yes,This has always been the standard to lead ones life by.
Solo Christo: Yes,Salvation is granted through faith in Jesus ransom sacrifice
Sola Gratia: Yes, None of us deserve it and it is only by the Grace of God,Jehovah.
Sola Fide:Yes, But Faith without works is dead and as such is not True Faith but false or in word alone and not in deed.
