Q. Can a man be saved without baptism?
A. He cannot, unless he have it either actual or in desire, with contrition, or to be baptized in his blood as the holy Innocents were, which suffered for Christ.
This is what St Thomas thought too. As well as St Alphonsus. One could make the argument that this lines up with Trent.

If all Catholics who preach BOD used the above definition, with ALL of its requirements, then the debate over BOD would be over. I have no problem with the above, nor would Fr Feeney, since it does not water-down EENS. Fr Feeney was fighting the pre-V2, salvation-for-all, one-world-religion, modernists; He was not fighting the above.
