CAN EXISTING RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES IN CALIFORNIA AFFIRM THE DOGMA EXTRA ECCLESIAM NULLA SALUS AND ALSO ACCEPT IN PRINCIPLE THE BAPTISM OF DESIRE AND BEING SAVED IN INVINCIBLE IGNORANCE ?

Will a religious community which already has canonical status in California be accepted if they say:

1) They affirm the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. http://catholicism.org/category/outside-the-church-there-is-no-salvation

2) They accept in principle that a person can be saved with the baptism of desire and in invincible ignorance and these cases would be known only to God.

For instance a Franciscan or Jesuit community could  affirm Vatican Council II, the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and being saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire. Could this community also  accept vocations who have similar views?

Religious communities should be free to affirm the Catholic Faith.
