The Society of Joseleitos of Christ sjc (Società Joseleitos de Cristo), General Curia in Brazil and their religious in Italy, would agree with me on these three points mentioned in gold, on these three pages. Father Reinaldo Cruz de Santana, sjc is the Parish Priest in the parish Santa Maria di Nazareth, Casalotti, Boccea, Rome. This is in the diocese of Porto Santa Rufina, Rome. Formerly Father Francesco Barbosa was the Parish Priest at Casalotti. I had been sending him material over the last few years. They include the contents of the following three pages. We were in agreement. - Lionel Andrades

This
Church constituted and organized in the world as a society, subsists in the
Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor of Peter and by the Bishops
in communion with him,(13*) although many elements of sanctification
and of truth are found outside of its visible structure. These
elements, as gifts belonging to the Church of Christ, are forces impelling
toward catholic unity.- Lumen Gentium 8, Vatican Council II
Catechumens
who, moved by the Holy Spirit, seek with explicit intention to be incorporated
into the Church are by that very intention joined with her. With love
and solicitude Mother Church already embraces them as her own. -
Lumen Gentium 14, Vatican Council II
But
the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator… Those
also can attain to salvation who through no fault of their own do not know the
Gospel of Christ or His Church, yet sincerely seek God and moved by grace
strive by their deeds to do His will as it is known to them through the
dictates of conscience.- Lumen Gentium 16, Vatican Council II.
Moreover,
some and even very many of the significant elements and endowments which
together go to build up and give life to the Church itself, can exist outside
the visible boundaries of the Catholic Church: the written word of God; the
life of grace; faith…
… These liturgical actions must
be regarded as capable of giving access to the community of salvation. –
Unitatis Redintigratio 3 Vatican Council II
The
Catholic Church rejects nothing that is true and holy in these religions. She
regards with sincere reverence those ways of conduct and of life, those
precepts and teachings which, though differing in many aspects from the ones
she holds and sets forth, nonetheless often reflect a ray of that Truth which
enlightens all men. – Nostra Aetate 2, Vatican
Council II.
All
this holds true not only for Christians, but for all men of good will in whose
hearts grace works in an unseen way. For,
since Christ died for all men, and since the ultimate vocation of man is in
fact one, and divine, we ought to believe that the Holy Spirit in a manner
known only to God offers to every man the possibility of being associated with
this paschal mystery.- Gaudium et Specs 22, Vatican Council
II
3. EXCLUSIVE
SALVATION IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TODAY
14. This Sacred Council wishes to turn
its attention firstly to the Catholic faithful. Basing itself upon Sacred
Scripture and Tradition, it teaches that the Church, now sojourning on earth as
an exile, is necessary for salvation. Christ, present to us in His Body, which
is the Church, is the one Mediator and the unique way of salvation. In explicit
terms He Himself affirmed the necessity of faith and baptism124 and thereby
affirmed also the necessity of the Church, for through baptism as through a
door men enter the Church…- Lumen Gentium 14, Vatican Council II
Therefore, all must be converted to Him,
made known by the Church's preaching, and all must be incorporated into Him by
baptism and into the Church which is His body. For Christ Himself "by
stressing in express language the necessity of faith and baptism (cf. Mark
16:16; John 3:5), at the same time confirmed the necessity of the Church, into
which men enter by baptism, as by a door.-Ad Gentes 7
CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH 845-846
845 To reunite all his children, scattered and
led astray by sin, the Father willed to call the whole of humanity together
into his Son's Church. The Church is the place where humanity must rediscover
its unity and salvation. The Church is "the world reconciled." She is
that bark which "in the full sail of the Lord's cross, by the breath of
the Holy Spirit, navigates safely in this world." According to another
image dear to the Church Fathers, she is prefigured by Noah's ark, which alone
saves from the flood.- Catechism of the
Catholic Church
846 …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…
Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is
necessary that he hold the Catholic faith. Which faith unless every one do keep
whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.-Athanasius Creed
Fourth
Lateran Council (1215):
"There is but one universal Church of the faithful,
outside which no one at all is saved."
