There is a standard approach to error among the Catholic liberals.
Here is how it works with Matt Fradd.
1. They ignore or reject the strict interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) as cited by the popes and saints.
2.They will cite a passage from Vatican Council II which they will interpret with a false premise, to create a rupture with Tradition, as mentioned in Number 1 above.
3.They may also quote the Catechism of the Catholic Church also interpreted with the false premise, to contradict Number one above.
4.Then some may cite the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 in which the false premise is used to contradict Feeneyite EENS.
5.So their conclusion is that the Church no more teaches the strict interpretation of EENS and theoretical possibilities are practical exceptions.
LIBERAL EXAMPLE : MATT PRADD
1.St.Thomas Aquinas is never quoted affirming the strict interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS).
1.(Time 35:10) What does Vatican Council II say about people outside the Church being saved ? Well In Lumen Gentium 16 we do read...yes it is possible that those outside the fold will be saved.
2.(57:25) St. Thomas Aquinas refers to the baptism of desire for someone who has not received the baptism of water.
3.(57:47) Whereby God whose power is not tied to visible Sacraments sanctifies man inwardly.
4.(57:59) Hence St. Ambrose says of his friend the Emperor Valintinian that I lost him but he did not lose the grace he prayed for.
5.God is not bound Sacraments ( Catechism of the Catholic Church 1257).
6.(59:17) Those who have an implicit desire for the baptism of water can also be saved.
