So what you're saying is, as long as I follow the teachings of St. Gregory nαzιanzen, Pope St. Leo the Great, and numerous Church Councils and other Popes on the subject I should be alright? That makes sense to me
But again, what was the issue with Lad's post?
Pope Innocent II wrote, in Apostolicam Sedem :
"To your inquiry we respond thus: We assert without hesitation (on the authority of the holy Fathers Augustine and Ambrose) that the priest whom you indicated (in your letter) had died without the water of baptism, because he persevered in the faith of holy mother the Church and in the confession of the name of Christ,
was freed from original sin and attained the joy of the heavenly fatherland. Read (brother) in the eighth book of Augustine's
City of God where, among other things, it is written: 'Baptism is ministered invisibly to one whom not contempt of religion but death excludes.' Read again the book also of the blessed Ambrose concerning the death of Valentinian where he says the same thing."
