How can the baptism of desire (BOD) be an exception to Feeneyite extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) ? It does not exist in real life. Only God can know a BOD case. A possibility is not a real person.

The popes over the centuries knew this.So BOD was not an exception to exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church for the popes and saints before Pope Pius XII
