Theologians have traditionally maintained the existence of “Confirmation of desire,” meaning that one, in real necessity, could obtain the grace of this Sacrament by virtue of the desire for Confirmation which cannot be presently received, much as in the case of “Baptism of desire.” Saint Thomas asserted that Baptism of desire would need to precede Confirmation of desire, given the preparatory role in which the former has in relation to the latter.
COD smells like fish
That quote comes from a "prestigious Catholic educational" website, which includes Karl Keating and at least one rabbi. You'll find that everything that they teach about salvation is in line with what ALL the BODers here on CI believe.
The traditionalist BODers are like the woman who is "partnered for life" to one man, and she complains about all the women who are "promiscuous" and have many "friends".The Trad BODer believes that people can be saved who have no explicit desire to be baptized, martyred, or to be a Catholic, nor belief in Christ and the Trinity, so do the Novus Ordo BODers, they complain about the liberal Novus Ordo BODer, when the only difference between the two is that the N.O. BODers quote also Vatican II sources and popes.:
