Lionel:
The Baltimore Catechism placed the theoretical cases of the unknown catechumen in the baptism section of the Catechism. We cannot administer the baptism of desire as we can the baptism of water. There are no known cases of the baptism of desire.
The Baltimore Catechism suggested that there was a baptism of desire without the baptism of water even when they could not name anyone saved as such.
Now the invented baptisms include invincible ignorance(LG 16), elements of sanctification and truth(LG 8), imperfect communion with the Church (UR 3) all without the baptism of water in the Catholic Church.
