FATHER MASIMILLIANO DEI GASPARI F.I SAYS EVERYONE WITH NO EXCEPTION HAS TO DE FACTO ENTER THE CATHOLIC CHURCH FOR SALVATION

Father Massimilliano dei Gaspari F.I says everyone with no exception needs to de facto enter the Catholic Church for salvation. I was speaking with him today morning before he celebrated Holy Mass in Latin at the Church of the Annunziata,Lungotevere,Rome.
"Would you agree that everyone with no exception defacto needs to enter the Catholic Church for salvation while there is a posibility in principle, de jure, that in certain circumstances  those with implicit faith (baptism of desire, invincible ignorance etc) can be saved and it would be known only to God?"
"Yes. I agree ", he said in Italian.He also speaks English.
The ex cathedra dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus says everyone with no exception needs to be a visible member of the Catholic Church to be saved ( from Hell).
The three popes and Councils which gave Catholics this infallible teaching were aware of invincible ignorance and  the baptism of desire (implicit faith).It was NOT mentioned for the FIRST TIME in Vatican Council II.Fr.Massimiliano dei Gaspari agreed.
The popes interpreted implicit faith NOT as de facto salvation. Fr.Massimilliano dei Gaspari agreed.
We cannot judge de facto who has a genuine baptism of desire. He agreed.
So if we interpret implicit faith in Vatican Council II (LG 16) as referring to de facto salvation it would be a heresy.It would contradict the ex cathedra teaching outside the Church there is no salvation. It would also contradict Vatican Council II ( Ad Gentes 7) and the Catechism of the Catholic Church ( 836 )  which state 'all' need to enter the Catholic Church for salvation.
