FWIW, Michael Knowles on rumors of Kirk considering converting, start at 38:00
 
Knowles says, "[Charlie's] publicly stated views speak for themselves"

Exactly.  Desire + action.  And Charlie died before the action took place.  So he didn’t convert. 

True Faith is not found outside the Church. No one can obtain true Faith by desiring it super duper hard because you must be united to the Mystical Body Of Christ in order to possess it. No one outside the Church can become a member of the Church by desiring it super duper hard because they lack Divine Faith.

 They cannot please God, they cannot have true Faith, they cannot obtain eternal salvation, without being a member of the Church. That is why becoming an actual member of the Church is absolutely necessary for salvation.

You see, dearly beloved sons and venerable brothers, how much vigilance is needed to keep the disease of this terrible evil from infecting and killing your flocks. Do not cease to diligently defend your people against these pernicious errors. Saturate them with the doctrine of Catholic truth more accurately each day. Teach them that just as there is only one God, one Christ, one Holy Spirit, so there is also only one truth which is divinely revealed. There is only one divine faith which is the beginning of salvation for mankind and the basis of all justification, the faith by which the just person lives and without which it is impossible to please God and to come to the community of His children.[2] There is only one true, holy, Catholic church, which is the Apostolic Roman Church. There is only one See founded in Peter by the word of the Lord,[3] outside of which we cannot find either true faith or eternal salvation. He who does not have the Church for a mother cannot have God for a father, and whoever abandons the See of Peter on which the Church is established trusts falsely that he is in the Church.[4] Thus, there can be no greater crime, no more hideous stain than to stand up against Christ, than to divide the Church engendered and purchased by His blood, than to forget evangelical love and to combat with the furor of hostile discord the harmony of the people of God

Pius IX Encyclical Letter 3/17/1856

I will also add this about the nonsensical term "desire".  So in the context of "Baptism of Desire", the Latin word is actually votum, which is releated etymologically to the term for "vow".  This is not just some longing or even concrete intention.

***Stop trying to bamboozle. Baptism of Desire (it is called that) simply means the personal and sincere desire to be baptized as a Catholic.

So, let's say some man firmly intends to marry some woman, gets engaged, buys the ring, puts down thousands of dollars in deposits, constantly tells people it's a done deal, shows up for the wedding, but when he's asked to pronounce the VOWS, he runs out of the Church.  Were the couple married ever because of his "desire" to get married?  Certainly not.

*** I don't recall the Church ever teaching about Marriage of Desire. Most likely because there are two people involved and one cannot speak for the other.

THAT is how strong the word VOTUM is, where it almost does not and cannot exist until it becomes consummated in ACTION.  Those who do have this degree of firm intention, there's nothing contrary to Catholic faith that God WOULD in fact ensure in His Providence that such a one would receive the actual Sacrament.  That is what St. Augustine taught clearly in the "vortex of confusion" passage and St. Gregorian nαzιanzen distinguished between the act and the desire, saying the latter was not equal to the former.

*** But Laddy, you are not the Church. And the Church allows for Baptism of Desire.

St. Thomas Aquinas taught that explicit faith in the Holy Trinity and Incarnation are required for salvation, and that if there WERE such a one who placed no obstacles to receiving the faith, God would send an angel if necessary and miraculously convert them.  But of course it rarely works this way, but through the normal workings of God's Providence, and even St. Alphonsus said that someone dying other than how they had lived was a one-in-a-million and basically didn't happen, and none of the "BoD" doctors would consider someone like Kirk a candidate, but someone who was already a catechumen or intent on becoming Catholic.

*** I don't want to hear your opinions. Let us have St. Alphonsus' exact words. (As far as I remember he said it was rare but not impossible.) Let us have St. Thomas Aquinas' exact words.

Similary, there's absolutely nothing stopping this same angel mentioned by St. Thomas from also baptizing said individual.  We have stories of Mary of Agreda bilocating to the New World, and miracles where saints received water springs out of nowhere or else raised dead people back to life in order to baptize them. 

*** All miraculous. So miracles happen outside the norm.

But in the normal ordinary working of Divine Providence, those who are known members of the Catholic Church upon their deaths (and who are in a state of grace) can be saved, but those who are not known members of the Catholic Church upon theirs deaths are presumed lost, and just said simpliciter to be lost, without qualifiction or equivocation or any secundum quids ... the one in a million exception notwithstanding,

*** Through baptism Kirk became a member of the Church. However he was a heretic because he held heretical Protestant views. Given he was searching and open to being convinced, there is hope that before he died he renounced his Protestant errors. It is true that he did not publicly and could be damned, but the Church says we may pray for Protestants and have Masses for them just in case.

just as the one in a million chance that some Catholic was not validly baptized might occur (though seems to happen with some regularity in the Conciliar Church).  But even in those cases, God's Providence allowed some of them to find out, whereas if some of us never find out and aren't baptized, then we were simply never among the Elect ... and glory be to God.  God could also have had me born among the Worshippers of the Great Thumb and died before ever having heard about the faith ... except when Wojtyla came by and told me that I could be saved while worshipping the Thumb anyway.

***So you are a Feenyite. You do not accept Baptism of Desire.

LOVE the underlined part especially.

WorldsAway, do you believe in Baptism of Desire or are you a Feenyite?

Alex Clark: Was [Charlie] becoming Catholic?

Andrew: No. But, he really loved Catholic mass. He loved the ritual of it, he loved the beauty of old Catholic churches.

 You will find no teachings from the Magisterium defining it as a Dogma. As Charlie Kirk would say, "prove me wrong".

Andrew Kolvet claims that he was a cradle Catholic and "became a Christian in college" (I.e. apostatized). He says he and Erika share that experience.

Alex Clark claims there is an Instagram post from Erika of her and Charlie at mass. A user commented, "are you converting?". Erika responded "No, we just like going sometimes"
