Exclusivist ecclesiocentrism is still the teaching of the Catholic Church before and after Vatican Council II

'10. Exclusivist ecclesiocentrism—the fruit of a specific theological system or of a mistaken understanding of the phrase extra ecclesiam nulla salus—is no longer defended by Catholic theologians after the clear statements of Pius XII and Vatican Council II on the possibility of salvation for those who do not belong visibly to the Church (cf, e.g., LG 16; GS 22).'-International Theological Commission, Christianity and the World Religions

Exclusivist ecclesiocentrism is still the teaching of the Catholic Church before and after Vatican Council II since we do not know of any exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
The traditional teaching still stands.
It is the liberal theologians who have not acknowledged AG 7 which says all need to convert with 'faith and baptism' . They have also assumed that LG 16 is a visible, known exception to the literal interpretation of Fr.Leonard Feeney. If this was assumed by also Pope Pius XII then he made a factual mistake too.

However in the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 Pope Pius XII supports Fr.Leonard Feeney on doctrine/dogma when he refers to ‘the dogma’ the ‘infallible teaching’ and says it should be understood and interpreted as the Church does. For centuries the church taught ‘exclusivist ecclesiolcentrism’ and the text of ‘the dogma’ does not mention any exceptions nor considers the baptism of desire an exception.
