Adding Cl- wouldn't affect the concentration of H+ unless then combined to make HCl - but HCl dissolves in water and is, in fact, hydrochloric acid!
The typical student experiment is to take molar concentration Hcl and NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide) and mix them 1:1 to make NaCl + H2O (ie salt water).
This is why the typical anti-acids have hydroxide (or bicarbonate; a similar thing happens). The OH- binds tightly to the H+ to make H2O, leaving the remainder to form as a dissolved salt.
(umm, poor memories of O Level chemistry from 1983/4 involved in the making of this post so I may be wrong :-))
