Even the Church in the Roman Catechism merely said "if" a man were to die without baptism due to an unforeseen accident . . .
Good post tornpage, I just want to reiterate that the Roman Catechism does not say
"if a man were to die without baptism due to an unforeseen accident . . ." - in that particular teaching, the catechism never mentions anything about dying at all, nor, in that particular teaching, does it even mention anything about salvation, or even damnation for that matter. Note that the catechism does not even say that their good intentions and repentance
guarantees a state of "grace and righteousness", only that it
avails them to it.
That particular teaching is strictly about the reasons the Church delays baptism to catechumens. The reason the catechism gives first, is precisely because unforeseen accident or not,
there is no danger of death! The primary reason though, is for the purpose of the required preparatory education prior to being baptized and
has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with a BOD.The teaching that the BODers willfully ignore in the catechism, the teaching that actually DOES apply, is the section titled:
"In Case Of Necessity Adults May Be Baptised At Once".
Go figure.
