This is a problem being faced by Catholic professors, including priests, in all the pontifical universities in Italy.
I know a Spanish professor of philosophy who affirmed the strict interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) a few years back.He did not want to be quoted. He feared that he could lose his teaching job.It would be the end of his career as a Catholic professor in Rome.
So it is common for professors to say that we cannot judge if a particular non Catholic is oriented to Hell and- they do not say that the Catholic Church indicates in Vatican Council II etc,that we can judge.
The norm for salvation is faith and baptism,(AG 7, LG 14).It is Catholic faith and the baptism of water. If one has Catholic faith and has received the baptism of water it can be practically known. Only the baptism of water can be practically seen and not the baptism of desire, baptism of blood without the baptism of water or being saved in invincible ignorance without the baptism of water.So we cannot know of any practical exception to all needing faith and baptism for salvation.There are no literal exceptions to Ad Gentes 7 which says all need faith and baptism for salvation( to avoid Hell).
So Vatican Council II, Feeneyite, interpreted in this way would be Anti-Semitic, racist etc.
The Anti-Semitic laws were placed in the Italian Parliament by Catholic politicians in coordination with Abraham Foxman of the Anti Defamation League(ADL) and other Zionist organisations.
Many Italians in other professions have lost their jobs under Anti Semitism laws which are approved by the liberal rabbis in Italy.

The professors at the Gregorian Pontifical University say frivolous things since they know there is no freedom of religion and expression for them.
They cannot affirm Feeneyite EENS and Vatican Council II, since it could be miscontrued.-Lionel Andrades
