On Saturday and Sunday mornings give the Jehovah Witnesses a surprise
English Catholic Bishops concede there is no visible baptism of desire. Those saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire are not exceptions to the dogma outside the church there is no salvation. So lay Catholics in England could begin mission based on the dogma and Vatican Council II.

In ecumenism and inter religious dialogue they could know that all non Catholics are oriented to Hell with no known exceptions, unless they convert into the Catholic Church. This is the official teaching of the Catholic magisterium documents (Vatican Council II, Ad Gentes 7, Lumen Gentium 14 etc).
In sharing the Faith and in street mission it needs to be said that the Catholic Church teaches all people need to enter the Church, Jesus- Mystical Body, for salvation. There are no exceptions on earth. We do not know any case of a non Catholic saved in invincible ignorance, the baptism of desire, a good conscience (which should have led him to the Catholic Church if it was good) etc.
Jesus asks us to love all people irrespective of their religion. So we love all and work with all people, knowing that all non Catholics need to respond to Jesus, they need to enter the Catholic Church which is the only Ark of Noah that saves in the flood.
In Rome Cardinal Angelo Amato, Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints called for an evangelization based on Vatican Council II (AG 7,LG 14).In mission we need to interpret Vatican Council II as a continuation of Tradition and in accord with the define dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
An existing association or group, or a new one, needs to be formed which will educate Catholics on the true teachings of the Church and which will affirm the dogma outside the church there is no salvation being in agreement with Vatican Council II.
Evangelise as did St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis Xavier and the Jesuit saints.
