Professor Roberto dei Mattei is really saying outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation and in Heaven there are only Catholics according to Vatican Council II (AG 7-blue passages) and the Catechism of the Catholic Church 846 (AG 7-blue passages)

Professor Roberto dei Mattei has affirmed the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) 1.
 It is a dogma of faith proclaimed by the Fourth Lateran Council, under Innocent III, that “there is indeed one universal Church of the faithful, outside of which absolutely no one can be saved.”
 He acknowledges being saved in invincible ignorance  and says that a person in this state cannot be sure of himself.
 The principle “nulla salus extra Ecclesiam” does not exclude from salvation those who are outside the Church as a result of invincible error, but they are ordered to her at least through an implicit desire. However, they lack the assurance of salvation and the ordinary means to attain it. This truth of faith was confirmed by Gregory XVI (Mirari Vos of August 15, 1832); Pius IX (Singulari quidem, of March 17, 1856 to the bishops of Austria); and Leo XIII (Satis cognitum of June 29, 1896), among others.

Professor Mattei personally does not know any one in particular saved outside the Church in invincible ignorance.Since obviously if there was such a case it would only be known to God.
So he is affirming the passages in blue in magisterial documents  while hypothetical cases of invincible ignorance etc, marked in red, cannot be objective exceptions.They are personally unknown to us.They do not exist in our reality in 2019.Invisible non Catholics cannot be visible examples of salvation outside the Church.So they are not practical exceptions to EENS and all needing to be members of the Catholic Church for salvation.Literally we do not know of any exceptions.
So there are no exceptions to EENS mentioned in magisterial documents (Vatican Council II etc) for Professor Roberto dei Mattei.
He affirms EENS, the Syllabus of Errors and an ecumenism of return based on Vatican Council II ( AG 7 - blue passages) and the Catechism of the Catholic Church 846 ( AG 7- blue passages).
The red passages in LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc are not practical exceptions to AG 7( blue passages) . They are not examples of objective people saved outside the Catholic Church.Instead they are theoretical possibilities, speculative cases and unknown people.
So this would be a new way of reading Vatican Council II for Professor Mattei.
The Council would no more be a rupture with Tradition ( EENS, Syllabus of Errors etc).Instead the Council supports Tradition( ecumenism of return, past exclusive ecclesiology etc).
So all non Catholics need to enter the Church as members for salvation( dogma EENS, Catechism of Pope Pius X etc) and there are no  exceptions in the red passages of Vatican Council II.
So Professor Mattei would now be saying outside the Church there is no salvation, there are unknown cases of being saved in  invincible ignorance-as there are unknown cases of being saved referenced in LG 8, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc, and all need to be members of the Catholic Church to avoid Hell.So for him, in Heaven there are only Catholics and most people on earth go to Hell, since  they die outside the Catholic Church, without 'faith and baptism'(AG 7, LG 14).
So traditional mission is important.Since all Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, atheists and other non Christians are oriented to the fires of Hell ( CDF, Notification on Fr. Jacques Dupuis sj n.7). 
Similarly all Orthodox Christian, Protestants, Pentecostals and Evangelical Christians are outside the Catholic Church, Jesus' Mystical Body, similar to a Catholic who believes in Jesus but dies in mortal sin.

For Professor Roberto dei Mattei invincible ignorance is not an objective exception to the dogma EENS since obviously there are no cases of salvation in invincible ignorance, which can be personally known to us human beings.
