For two reasons.

1)There is no situation, aside from the Sacraments, where God would "automatically" do a miracle. Your reasoning suggests that, in all the situations I mentionned, God would do a miracle to save them. Of course what you said is possible. But it is not necessary. 

Wouldn't it mean that the DRPK has the power to make God do miracles to save the persecuted Christians, if they persecute them harshly enough? In the same instance, it would mean that the Jews have the power to make the fake Messiah come, by making events look similar. I do not think this makes sense.

2)God is Justice itself. The rules for salvation must be fair and give everyone willing a chance. It doesn't matter that most of humanity goes to hell, the problem is : are the rules just? To me, it does not seem just that a catechumen martyr would go to hell.
That isn't a rule that God would put in place, because God is Justice and because He cannot contradict Himself.

Salvation is a mystery.  Yes, God is perfectly just.  But, salvation is also a gift which no man deserves.  And even though God is all just and all good, He is not obligated to give salvation/grace to all men, in the same way. 

As the gospel shows, God was generous to those workers who worked only 1 hour vs those that worked all day.  We can never understand God's ways, which is often your argument, being you think that human minds can (and should) be able to grasp the workings of God.  We cannot.

Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis Christi (# 22), June 29, 1943.
Actually only those are to be included as members of the Church who have been baptized and profess the true faith, and who have not been so unfortunate as to separate themselves from the unity of the Body, or been excluded by legitimate authority for grave faults committed. "For in one spirit" says the Apostle, "were we all baptized into one Body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free."[17] As therefore in the true Christian community there is only one Body, one Spirit, one Lord, and one Baptism, so there can be only one faith.[18] And therefore, if a man refuse to hear the Church, let him be considered - so the Lord commands - as a heathen and a publican. [19] It follows that those who are divided in faith or government cannot be living in the unity of such a Body, nor can they be living the life of its one Divine Spirit.

Non-baptised are not members of the Church.


Pope Eugene IV, “Cantate Domino", Council of Florence
"It firmly believes, professes, and proclaims that those not living within the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics cannot become participants in eternal life, but will depart “into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels”, unless before the end of life the same have been added to the flock; and that the unity of the ecclesiastical body is so strong that only to those remaining in it are the sacraments of the Church of benefit for salvation, and do fastings, almsgiving, and other functions of piety and exercises of Christian service produce eternal reward, and that no one, whatever almsgiving he has practiced, even if he has shed blood for the name of Christ, can be saved, unless he has remained in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church."

Shedding your blood for Christ does not save you if you are not in the Church. Florence's decree is INFALLIBLE.

To be consistent with Catholic DOGMA we must presume all canonized saints actually received water baptism at some point.
