The box of mangos - 2

Consider the  priesthood and the formation at traditional and non traditional seminaries.I gave the example of a box of mangoes which has one apple in it.The apple is an exception because it is different but also because it exists in that box.

 That’s the point here. For something to be an exception it has to exist. It must be in our reality.
A photon of light somewhere in space cannot be an exception in that box of mangoes.It has nothing to do with that box.
An apple in another part of the world cannot be an exception in that box.
Similarly a person now in Heaven cannot be an exception to the traditional teaching on exclusive salvation in the Church. We cannot say that every one does not need the baptism of water because there is an X,Y or Z saved without the baptism of water and he is now in Heaven. An imaginary person cannot be an exception.
Someone you cannot name, who has allegedly been saved without the baptism of water, cannot be an exception to all needing the baptism of water for salvation. Yet in all seminaries, people now in Heaven are supposed to be exceptions to all needing to convert. How can they be exceptions when they do not exist in our reality?.
This is the simple point I am trying to get across.
