How Can 'Baptism of Desire' Be Contrary to Dogma?

How Can 'Baptism of Desire' Be Contrary to Dogma? Exactly! Why cannot we accept implicit baptism of desire known only to God along with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.? Why cannot we accept St.Thomas Aquinas' 'ignorant man in the forest' who is saved along with St.Thomas'  rigorist interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus? It does not contradict the  Principle of Non Contradiction. Why cannot we accept the baptism of desire of St.Alphonsus Ligouri along with the interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus by  Peter and Michael Dimond ?
Since the baptism of desire is always explicit for God only and implicit for us humans it is not contradictory to the literal interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, an error made by Peter and Michael Dimond in the following video.
Once they understand that the baptism of desire is only a possibility and not an exception,  they will be able to see that Vatican Council II (AG 7,LG 14) supports the dogma on salvation as interpreted by them, while LG 16 (invincible ignorance) is not a known or unknown exception.LG 16 is a possibility known only to God and not an exception.
