Archbishop Agostino Marchetto along with his opponents Roberto dei Mattei and Bruno Gherardini - also Fr.John Zuhlsdorf- are using an irrational premise

 
 
Archbishop Marchetto along with his opponents Roberto dei Mattei and Bruno Gherardini -so also Fr.John Zuhlsdorf- are using an irrational premise in the interpretation of Vatican Council II.
For instance one can affirm “the Holy Mother Hierarchical Church”     and say Unitatis Redintigratio 3 suggests a Protestant can be saved in 'imperfect communion with the Church',without being a visible member of the Catholic Church.
 
False Premise : We can physically see , know a Protestant in 2013 saved as such.
Conclusion:
Cases of  imperfect communion with the Church are visible to us so they are known exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
Without the False Premise: UR 3 refers to a possibility known only to God. Since it is unknown to us it cannot be an exception to the dogma on exclusive salvation.
 
False Premise: We can physically see, know a Jew or Hindu who is 'good and holy' and is saved in 2013.
Conclusion:
 Cases of good and holy non Catholics who are saved or going to be saved, are known exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
Without the False Premise: NA 2 is a possibility , a hypothetical case. It is irrelevant to the dogma on salvation.
False Premise: Those saved with the ' seeds of the Word' (AG 11 etc) are personally known to us. We can meet them.
Conclusion: Since these cases are personally known to us , they are visible exceptions to the dogma outside the church there is no salvation.
Without the False Premise: There are no known exceptions to the traditional teaching on other religions.NA 2 is not one of them.

Liberals and traditionalists have been using the False Premise in the interpretation of Vatican Council. There can be only one rational hermeneutic, one rational interpretation.
