Of course that means nothing to any "new Rite of Ordination is invalid 100% of the time" purist -- but I'm not interested in getting into that right now.

So, I don't know why always the false dichotomy.  One needn't be an "invalid 100% of the time purist" to conclude that there's certainly POSITIVE DOUBT, and the teaching of the Church is that one cannot receive Sacraments that labor under positive doubt except in danger of death if you have no other option.  So, in the practical order it means the exact same thing.  If I were dying and the only one around was an NO priest, I would ask him for absolution ... but until I'm at that point, he might as well be certainly invalid.
