Go back to the Baltimore Catechism ?

We cannot just say, "Let's go back to the Baltimore Catechism".It has to be clarified that when the Baltimore Catechism for example mentions the baptism of desire(BOD), then the BOD, can be intepreteted as a hypothetical or objective case.It is subjective or objective, implicit or explicit.This is how it is being interpreted by Catholics. If the premise is different then the conclusion will be a rupture or continuation with Tradition.It will mean accepting the strict intepretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus or rejecting it.The conclusion is traditional or non traditional.
If a Catholic can throw away the strict interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS), then every thing else can be done away with. So of what good are the Catehisms then ? Of what good are the Catechisms if EENS has exceptions today but not have exceptions in the 16th century?
It has to be clarified that when the Baltimore Catechism refers to the baptism of desire it is only to a hypothetical, subjective, implicit and theoretical case.It exists only in our mind.There is no BOD case in our human reality, at Newton's level of time and space.This is the rational interpretation of BOD.
But for the Americanists this was not true. The baptism of desire was an objective case. It was a practical exception to the traditional strict itnerpetation of EENS. BOD did not exist just in our mind for the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 to the Archbishop of Boston relative to Fr. Leonard Feeney.
So a new doctrine on salvation was created in the Church and there was a new way to read the Catechisms; to read them wrongly.The new doctrine was EENS with exceptions;outside the Church there is salvation.
So when reading the Catechisms(  Baltimore,Trent Pius X,John Paul II etc)it is important to note that the baptsm of desire and invincible ignorance refer to hypothetical cases only.
If this is not clarified then all the Catechisms will be confusing and they would contradict itself and each other.
Also Vatican Council II would be at odds with the old Catechisms.LG 8,LG 14,LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc would contradict the strict interpretation of EENS when it is mentioned in the Catechisms example 24Q and 27Q in the Catechism of Pope Pius X. - Lionel Andrades
