Big gaps in the SSPX theology

There was no mention of Hell, exclusive salvation and unknown cases of being saved in invincible ignorance outside the Church, in the SSPX Superior's statement on the Abu Dhabi meeting.
Since there are big gaps in the SSPX theology. 
1.They cannot say that all Muslims and other non Christians are on the way to Hell, unless they convert into the Catholic Church,since they believe there are known exceptions mentioned in Vatican Council II etc. 
2. Also for the SSPX there are known exceptions of the baptism of desire(BOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) and so there is a new version of extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) for them.
This is Cushingism.
Cushingites assume hypothetical cases are practical exceptions to EENS.
3.The SSPX could not say that there is salvation in only one religion since they assume that there is salvation in other religions. For them non Catholics are saved with the baptism of desire, invincible ignorance and the baptism of blood all without the baptism of water.So they contradict the Nicene Creed and traditional EENS.
4.The SSPX cannot even say that all Christians need to enter the Catholic Church for salvation since invisible cases of BOD, BOB and I.I are visible exceptions to EENS as it was interpreted by the missionaries in the 16th century. 
They use the same false reasoning as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to interpret Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
