There is no known exception in 2014 to 'Feeneyism'- all need the baptism of water for salvation.There are no known,visible exceptions

Father Feeney denied the "soul of the Church";
(???)
he said that one could not be joined to the "soul of the Church" except through the actual reception of sacramental Baptism.
 (Agreed theologically)
His theology developed into the notion that everyone in Paradise, without exception, had the character of sacramental Baptism.
(Correct.I agree with him)
 
 
This is just fine as a theological opinion, but it is not a dogma of the Catholic Faith.
(Cantate Dominio, Council of Florence etc??)
 
Question is, "Are there individuals in Heaven who lack the character of sacramental Baptism?" It's a "Yes" or "No" question. Agreed?
 
Lionel:
All who are in Heaven are there with the baptism of water.
 
 
 
 
Regardless of whether such folks are "visible" or not, are they, in fact, there? Yes or no? Father Feeney said, "No"; the SSPX says "Yes." Both are theological opinions; the Church has never defined such.
Yes or No these cases are not physically visible to us on earth.It is hypothetical for us and known only to God.So it is not an exception to all needing the baptism of water for salvation and there are no visible exceptions. Example in 2014 it would not be a known exception to 'Feeneyism'.
So there is no known exception in 2014 to Feeneyism i.e all need the baptism of water for salvation.There  are no known exceptions.
