Cardinal Gerhard Muller cites the Catechism of the Catholic Church but does not say that it affirms the strict interpretation of salvation

2. The Church Jesus Christ founded the Church as a visible sign and instrument of salvation realized in the Catholic Church (816). He gave His Church, which “emerged from the side of the Christ who died on the Cross” (766), a sacramental constitution that will remain until the Kingdom is fully achieved (CCC 765). Christ, the Head, and the faithful as members of the body, are a mystical person (CCC 795), which is why the Church is sacred, for the one Mediator has designed and sustained its visible structure (CCC 771). Through it the redemptive work of Christ becomes present in time and space via the celebration of the Holy Sacraments, especially in the Eucharistic Sacrifice, the Holy Mass (CCC 1330). The Church conveys with the authority of Christ the divine revelation, which extends to all the elements of doctrine, “including the moral teaching, without which the saving truths of the faith cannot be preserved, explained, and observed” (CCC 2035).-Cardinal Gerhard Muller, Manifesto of Faith

Cardinal Gerhard Muller cites the Catechism of the Catholic Church but does not say that it affirms the strict interpretation of salvation. Like Cardinal Walter Kasper he rejects the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) and the Syllabus of Errors ( ecumenism of return etc).

"Outside the Church there is no salvation" 

846 How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers? Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body: 

Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door.Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.

847 This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church: 

Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation.

848 "Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him,  Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men."

-Catechism of the Catholic Church 846-848  1

Cardinal Muller instead interprets the passages in red as a rupture with the passage in blue and the rest of Tradition.

The Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) has asked  Brother Andre Marie MICM, Prior of the St. Benedict Center, New Hampshire, USA to interpret CCC 847-848 as referring to known non Catholics saved outside the Church. In this way CCC 847-848  would be exceptions to the strict interpretation of the dogma EENS and Ad Gentes 7 ( blue passage).Where are the literal exceptions in 2019 ? Who has seen someone saved outside the Church ?

In an interview with Edward Pentin for the National Catholic Register, when Cardinal Gerhard Muller was asked about extra ecclesiam nulla salus he interpreted Vatican Council II as a rupture with the dogma EENS.For him 'the red was an exception to the blue'.2 Invisible cases of being saved in invincible ignorance were objective exceptions to the traditional interpretation of the dogma EENS for him.

Cardinal Muller also wanted the Society of St. Pius X to accept Vatican Council II as a rupture with Tradition and ignore the rational choice. He never said that Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church affirm the 'rigorist interpretation' of the dogma EENS.

In his Manifesto of Faith  he does not say like the SSPX General Chapter Statement on Doctrine(2012):-

For this reason it seems opportune that we reaffirm our faith in the Roman Catholic Church, the unique Church founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ, outside of which there is no salvation nor possibility to find the means leading to salvation. 3

Instead this doctrinal statement was rejected by Pope Benedict and Cardinal Muller.

That has been discussed, but here, too, there has been a development of all that was said in the Church, beginning with St. Cyprian, one of the Fathers of the Church, in the third century. Again, the perspective is different between then and now. In the third century, some Christian groups wanted to be outside the Church, and what St. Cyprian said is that without the Church a Christian cannot be saved. The Second Vatican Council also said this: Lumen Gentium 14 says: “Whosoever, therefore, knowing that the Catholic Church was made necessary by Christ, would refuse to enter or to remain in it, could not be saved.” He who is aware of the presence of Revelation is obliged by his conscience to belong publicly — and not only in his conscience, in his heart — to this Catholic Church by remaining in communion with the Pope and those bishops in communion with him.

But we cannot say that those who are inculpably ignorant of this truth are necessarily condemned for that reason. We must hope that those who do not belong to the Church through no fault of their own, but who follow the dictates of their God-given conscience, will be saved by Jesus Christ whom they do not yet know. Every person has the right to act according to his or her own conscience. - Cardinal Gerhard Muller (10/02/2012 ). Archbishop Gerhard Müller: 'The Church Is Not a Fortress', National Catholic Register  http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/archbishop-mueller-the-church-is-not-a-fortress/#ixzz3pwkg3Mur
