Vatican II never says non-Christians can be saved as non-Christians. It says God will bring those who seek Him sincerely to that Faith without which it is impossible to please Him. This can be read in a way conformable to Tradition and Explicit Faith.
Ahhh...Eureka! I finally see the confusion/misinterpretation/false definition of Xavier and others. See, they are conflating "Explicit Faith" in the Incarnation/Trinity with "The Faith" of the Church. These are 2 totally separate things.

Xavier, we cannot please God unless we have "The Faith", meaning we have full membership in the Church. Explicit Faith in the Incarnation/Trinity is simply the absolute, minimum requirement for membership in the Church. To be a member in the Church you must have
1) at least, Explicit Faith
2) a desire for membership in the Church, which means:
a) Complete knowledge of Baptism, and a desire for it
b) understanding of and acceptance of obedience to, the pope
c) understanding that there is only one Church that Christ started - the Catholic one
.
Your heretical error is that you define "Explicit Faith" as simply belief in the Incarnation/Trinity, and leave out all the necessary requirements related to the Catholic Faith.
You think that protestants can be saved without wanting the Church, the pope, or its rules. Total heresy!.
