Where do I come up with those things?

It's from the Catechism, the very first book any serious Catholic should read. The two Catechisms traditionalists usually read are Trent's Catechism and St Pius X's catechism.

Which was recommended by St Pius X, as its name suggest, so His Holiness must have read it before approving it.

Many years ago some cathinfo members found the original docuмent in a museum and it did not mention BoD and salvation in invincible ignorance.

No where and nobody teaches those three things comprise a BOD, let alone that they are what is necessary for a BOD to happen. You simply invented them. Please simply admit this.

 Because neither catechism teaches a BOD and in an effort to correct your error, I am simply Reposting what I explained to you prior and you ignored.........


You only proved the point I that I underlined. You "read meanings into words which the words you read do not say, while failing to advert to what the words do say."


Now, let's understand it for what the words actually say....

1. First off, the catechism states plainly that there is no danger of death involved, nor is the death of the catechumen mentioned at all or even implied. (But if there were a danger of death, then as the very next chapter says, the adult must be be baptized at once. This is unlike like infants who are more prone shall we say, to die at any time. However, when there actually *is* the danger of death, the very next chapter teaches that "In Case Of Necessity Adults May Be Baptized At Once.")

2. To continue with  the first part where it says: "should any unforeseen accident make it impossible for adults to be washed in the salutary waters, their intention and determination to receive Baptism and their repentance for past sins, will avail them to grace and righteousness."

Note that "grace and righteousness" are attributes of the living, not the dead. Neither Trent nor it's catechism are talking about the attainment of salvation here, which is an attribute of the dead, not the living. All of which is to say, the catechism is not implying the death or danger of death of the adult.

3. Also note that because there is no mention of death at all, it does not say "accidental death," only an "unforeseen accident," which could mean literally any unforeseen event *except death* which would impede the catechumen from receiving the sacrament as previously scheduled. An "unforeseen accident," means anything from the priest having to reschedule due to an emergency, to the catechumen's car not starting, to whatever other "unforeseen accident" you can think of, except unforeseen accidental death - because it does not say "unforeseen accidental death." Again, death is never mentioned nor implied - see the next chapter for what to do when there is danger of death.

4. Note that "their intention etc. "..."will avail", which is to say, "will help," or "will aid them," or "will put them in the way of," it is saying that "their intention etc." will "be of use" toward them attaining justification i.e. "grace and righteousness", but it does not say even that "grace and righteousness"  is guaranteed or in any way certain. It does not reward nor give them justification, nor does it mean "their intention etc." will reward them salvation.

This is the correct understanding of what the catechism is teaching.
