SSPX COULD AFFIRM VATICAN COUNCIL II IN PUBLIC AND PLEDGE TO INTERPRET IT ACCORDING TO TRADITION

They can accept Vatican Council II and publicly say that we will choose to affirm it not as the liberals in dissent, but according to Tradition.  
Bishop Bernard Fellay, the Superior General of the Society of Saint Pius X (FSSPX / SSPX), said it in his sermon of December 8: the Roman proposals are at each time more interesting, but in their formulations there remains a point with a bitter taste, that demands before everything else the concession that Vatican II is consistent with the Tradition of the Church. –from Rorate Caeli, Excommunicating Gherardini?

The Left accepts Vatican Council II and interprets it as they wish.

For example they interpret Vatican Council II as a break from the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

SSPX can claim Vatican Council II is in harmony with the dogma outside the church there is no salvation.Since LG 14 and AG 7 teach all need Catholic Faith and the baptism of water for salvation.

Lumen Gentum 16 refers to those saved in invincible ignorance and with a good conscience. These are implicit cases and so are not exceptions to the dogma. lLiberals interpret LG 16 as an exception.

The baptism of desire is implicit. The baptism of water is explicit. So it cannot be an exception.

This is an example of accepting Vatican Council II and publicly saying that we will choose to affirm it not as the liberals in dissent, but according to Tradition.
The SSPX could choose to affirm Vatican Council II and decide to interpret it according to Tradition, as they know it.

Vatican Council II is consistent with the Tradition of the Church but not as interpreted by dissenters and a foreign lobby.
