Mortal sins of faith

Fr.Brian Harrison and Prof. Joseph Shaw saying that Pope Francis is not a heretic is not a surprise. They do not expect him to interpret Vatican Council II rationally and non heretically. They do not expect him to say that LG 8, LG 14, LG 16,UR 3, GS 22 etc refer to only hypothetical cases in 2019.For them this is not a mortal sin of faith.It does not have to be confessed in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
They both will not affirm the Athanasius Creed  which says outside the Church there is no salvation.This is not a mortal sin of faith for them.
Instead BOD, BOB and I.I are exceptions to the Athanasius Creed.There is no sin in saying this in public.
Since BOD,BOB and I.I  are exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) for them, they deny the past ecclesiology, an ecumenism of return,Syllabus of Errors etc and there is no mortal sin of faith has for them. Nothing to confess.In their mind, they are not in public mortal sin and so they offer/attend the Traditional Latin Mass.
So it is no  surprise to see that Harrison and Shaw did not sign the Open Letter to the Bishops.
