SSPX District Superior unknowingly supports Cardinal Kurt Koch

The Society of St.Pius X (SSPX) District Superior, Italy has indicated that there are known exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (1). Cardinal Kurt Koch also believes there are known exceptions to the dogma on exclusive salvation and so he does not state that Jews need to convert in the present times for salvation.(2)
Cardinal Koch said 'Catholics profess that, in the end, all salvation will be accomplished through Jesus Christ....’
Cardinal Koch “it does not necessarily follow that the Jews are excluded from God’s salvation because they do not believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah of Israel and the son of God”.
 He does not say that Jews need to convert in the present time but that at some future time unknown to him they will be saved through Jesus Christ. Note they will be saved by Jesus Christ in their religion and will not have to convert even then too.
Since there is known, visible, explicit salvation outside the Catholic Church in the present times (2014) when they meet a Jew, Muslim or Christian, they both cannot say that the person whom they meet is oriented to Hell. Since there are known exceptions for both of them. This is the message of  Vatican Council II for Don Pierpaolo Petrucci of the Fraternita Sacerdotale San Pio X, Albano and Cardinal Kurt Koch, the President of the Vatican Council for Christian Unity and relations with the Jews.
 Both interpret Vatican Council II with an irrational premise(the visible-dead). The Cardinal welcomes Vatican Council II the SSPX Superior rejects it because of the use of the same premise.
 If the SSPX Superior would  consider all salvation mentioned in Vatican Council II as implicit, de jure and known only to God, then Vatican Council II would not contradict the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the traditional  teaching on other religions and Christian communities.-Lionel Andrades
