The Holy Bible supports the strict interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS).This was known through the centuries.
John 3:5 says all need the baptism of water for salvation.The baptism of water was given in the community, the Church, the Early Church, the Early Catholic Church.
Mark 16:16 says he who does not believe will be condemned. For salvation God the Father made it necessary that all believe in His Son, in the only Church he founded, the Catholic Church.
Jesus says enter through the narrow gate for the road to Hell is wide and most people take.(Matthew 7:13)The narrow gate is the Catholic Church, which the Bible tells us is the Mystical Body of Jesus.The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ.( Colossians 1:18)

Jesus says those who deny Him, he too will deny,before God the Father.' Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.  But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.'-Matthew 10: 32-33 (Douay-Rheims Bible)

Jesus had said 'I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, but by me'-John 14:6 
In Heaven there are only Catholics and they are there with Catholic faith and the baptism of water.
If there are people in Heaven from other religions, they are Catholic in Heaven.They were not members of another religion when they died.
Jews and Muslims in general do not believe in Jesus as the Son of God and the Saviour.Even Buddhists, Hindus and atheists are outside the Mystical Body of Jesus.Christians, in other religions , though baptized, do not have Catholic faith  and the baptism of water in the Catholic Church(Ad Gentes 7), which are needed for salvation.They do not follow the faith and moral teachings of the Catholic Church, which are needed to avoid Hell.

They also do not have the help of the Sacraments of the Church, since they do not have faith.They too in general are oriented to Hell. The exceptions, if they exist, would only be known to God.
So outside the Church there is no salvation is a dogma of the Church defined by three Church Councils and supported by the traditional interpretation of the Bible, since the time of the Church Fathers.

Vatican Council II supports the dogma outside the Church there is no salvation when it says all need faith and baptism for salvation(AG 7).If any one is saved as referenced in LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc, it would only be known to God.
The norm for salvation is believing in Jesus in the Catholic Church.
Those who die outside the Church will not be saved since the norm for salvation, which God the Father chose, is 'faith and baptism' and the absence of mortal sin at the time of death.The norm for salvation are not the alleged exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
People outside the Catholic Church in general will not be saved, since the norm for salvation is not invincible ignorance etc.

The Bible is Catholic. It's manuscripts were compiled and put together by the Catholic Church inspired by the Holy Spirit. This is the Bible used by the other Christian communities who also believe it is inspired by the Holy Spirit.The Holy Spirit has guided the Catholic Church to say outside the Church there is no salvation.This is the message of the Bible which is inerrant.-Lionel Andrades
