Fr. Stefano Visintin osb, Vice Rector, University of St. Anselm , Rome has said that the baptism of desire, baptism of blood and invincible ignorance, are not exceptions to EENS. The apologist John Martigoni has the same message. This is also the view of U.S Archbishop Thomas Gullickson, papal Nuncio to Switzerland and Leichenstein : Ralph Martin sets a bad example

 Ralph Martin sets a bad example when he presents hypothetical probabilities  which can exist only in our mind, as being practical exceptions to St. Thomas Aquinas  on extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS).This is common mistake in the Catholic Church and Ralph Martin and Scott Hahn should avoid it.

Lumen Gentium 16 does not tell us that we can know of non Catholics saved outside the Church without the Sacraments. 

Romans 1 and 2 does not claim that we can see or meet someone saved outside the Catholic Church. 

We don ot know any one who will be saved outside the Catholic Church only because  'God is not limited to the Sacraments'(CCC 1257).

We do not know any one who will be saved outside the Church, where 'the true Church of Christ subsists it' (LG 8).

Similarly if any one is saved outside the Catholic Church with 'elements of sanctification and truth in other religions' (LG 8) it would be known only to God.Now it's a zero case in our reality.
