Stop spamming.  I've read this article and it's theological garbage.

Actually, I was complaining about it.  Perhaps I wasn't as clear as I should have been.
I provided Church approved commentary on the canon cited.
The simple matter of fact is that baptism of desire is taught by the Church.  Your opinion to the contrary is your own.

You're going with JAM's false reading of the Canon Law.  This does not say that catechumens are considered baptized, but merely that they are to be treated as such in the context of whether or not they're allowed to have a Catholic funeral.  This is merely a disciplinary measure and amounts to nothing more than saying "Baptized and catechumens may receive a Catholic burial."
.
Does not an extension of the Church's liturgy to a class of persons have more significance?
.
Say, for instance, the law said "infidels may receive Holy Communion on Easter."  What's the difference between that and canon 1239?  "Merely disciplinary?"

You absolutely are spamming.  You're pasting in generic pro-BoD articles and links instead of sticking to the subject under discussion.  You're not subject to my command, obviously, but you should show some respect and adhere to generally accepted forum etiquette.

If there are, draw out the implications.  But there's no generic doctrinal statement regarding BoD in the Canon itself.

Certainly a Catholic burial COULD imply a possibility of salvation, but not necessarily.  At best one could hold that this means that the Church remains open to the POSSIBILITY that such as these could be saved.  Not everyone who receives Catholic burial is saved.  So the Church, at best, allows the faithful to hope in the possibility of the salvation of those described here.  Notice, too, that this is limited to formal catechumens.
