Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate : Can Lumen Gentium 16 (being saved in invincible ignorance) be considered hypothetical and invisible for us ?

The 200-plus priests of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate (F.I) who had asked for permission to offer the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) could also ask the Apostolic Commissioner Fr.Fidenzio Volpi OFM Cap, if they can accept Vatican Council II II with Lumen Gentium 16 (being saved in invincible ignorance) considered hypothetical and invisible for us.This is not asking much.
This will be an education for the Charismatic Renewal, Neo Cathechumenal Way and other Catholic communities which are orthodox on the issue of abortion, contraception etc but are confused on Catholic salvation.
Here is a Catholic Charismatic group in England, who are orthodox on abortion, contraceptions etc and support their local bishop.(1).However they will say that being saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire are exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. So for them every one in 2014 does not need to enter the Catholic Church visibly ( with faith and baptism) to go to Heaven. They interpret LG 16 etc as referring to defacto, objective cases known in the present times.
 
This is a common error in the Catholic Schools of Evangelisation of these communities.
This is also the error of the Vatican Curia and this community's  bishop in England. It is with this heresy that Fr.Fidenzio Volpi would like the Franciscans of the Immaculte to accept Vatican Council II.
1.The F.I priests could clarify that they accept Vatican Council II in which LG 16 refers to invisible cases for us , saved in invincible ignorance.
 
2.The F.I priests could clarify that they do not accept Vatican Council II in which LG 16 refers to visible cases for us, saved in invincible ignorance.
