Now most theologians teach that the minimum explicit content of supernatural and salvific faith includes, not only the truths of God’s existence and of His action as the Rewarder of good and the Punisher of evil, but also the mysteries of the Blessed Trinity and the Incarnation.
Msgr. Fenton teaches this himself as well.
Correct. And that is an essential element in the equation. The majority hold one must believe in the mysteries of the Blessed Trinity and the Incarnation, and all hold at the very minimum that one must believe in God's existence and that he rewards good and punishes evil for supernatural faith to be present in order for salvation to be possible. The also must have perfect charity. They can not be willfully blind to the fact that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church and they cannot willfully put of baptism once they are aware that it is necessary (by necessity of precept) for salvation. It is very good that you brought that up.

Nor do I persist stubbornly in my views.
