Vatican II heretics believe that literally everyone can have some kind of subconscious desire to be baptized. They claim those who are in a state of invincible ignorance and who practice virtue, and who through no fault of their own do not believe in the true faith, subconsciously desire baptism and can be saved.
Then, they vastly exaggerate how many people could actually be saved (even assuming their premises are true) to encourage moral weakness and tolerating sinners.
The logical fallacy is probably found at the "Through no fault of their own" part. It would be laughable if muslims living in western countries who rape and kill christians and pretend to be victims of "islamophobia" could go to heaven.
I believe that there must be some logical middle-ground here, between the false thesis preached by Vatican II, and between the claim that someone with the true faith and who desires baptism, but die (as an example as martyrs) go to hell.
Again, what does saying and believing that
non-Catholics can be saved have to do with BOD? Just take some time to think about the implications of that statement (non-Catholics can be saved) versus what BOD is alleged to bring about
I am making the difference between some sort of subconscious desire to be baptized, and the explicit desire and intent to be baptized as soon as they can.
That is interesting, because Sts. Alphonsus Liguori and Aquinas did not hold explicit desire to be necessary in order to receive BOD, neither did the majority of theologians over the past several centuries.
Is contradicting the "common consensus" of theologians (includes Doctors) regarding what is required to receive BOD A-OK, just so long as you affirm some vague, baseline belief in BOD?
BODer: "If you don't believe in BOD, you're a heretic!"
John 3:5 believer: "Okay..what's BOD?"
BODer: "....opinions vary"
