Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate appeal to the Apostolic Signatura for a clarification

The Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate must ask the Apostolic Signatura to clarify so many inconsistencies.
Fr.Fidenzio Volpi OFM Cap., the Apostolic Commissar of the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate has asked the Sisters to accept Vatican Council II.They accept Vatican Council II as a historical reality.So the issue is the interpretation.
1) All references to salvation in Vatican Council II are implicit, invisible and hypothetical for  Fr.Fidenzio Volpi and Cardinal Braz de Aviz, Prefect of the Congregation for Religious, Vatican. They are not explicit, visible in the flesh and seen in real life in 2014.
a) The Sisters of the Immaculate are not expected to assume that these cases are defacto known to them in the present times?
2) Being saved in invincible ignorance (LG 16), elements of sanctification and truth (LG 8), good and holy things in other religions (NA 2), imperfect communion with the Church (UR 3), seeds of the Word (AG 11) are implicit, invisible in personal cases and hypothetical  for us all.
a) The Sisters are not expected to assume that these cases are visible, explicit and , known in reality in 2014 for them?
3) Since all salvation referred to in Vatican Council II  are probabilities, and not defacto known in personal cases, they are not exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus or Ad Gentes 7 (all need faith and baptism for salvation)
a) The Sisters  are not expected to assume that these cases are exceptions to the dogma on exclusive salvation ?
4) In the Catholic diocese of Worcester,USA , the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the community of Fr.Leonard  Feeney who have full canonical status affirm the traditional interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
All salvation mentioned in Vatican Council II and the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 to the Archbishop of Boston  are not exceptions to the literal interpretation of the dogma according to Fr.Leonard Feeney.
a) All religious communities, including the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate can affirm the dogma on exclusive salvation in accord with Vatican Council II (AG 7) ?
5)The Prefect of the Congregation for Religious, Cardinal  and the Apostolic Commissioner Fr. Fidenzio Volpi, made a Profession of Faith, upon taking their new assignment during the pontificate of Pope Francis. They must have recited the Nicene Creed.
In the Nicene Creed they said ' I believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sin'.
a) They were referring to one known baptism, the baptism of water and not three known baptisms water, desire and blood.?
The baptism of desire is not known to us explicitly and martyrdom is only judged by God ?
b) In the Nicene Creed we pray  'I  believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church...'.
For Cardinal Braz de Aviz and Fr.F.Volpi the Holy Spirit teaches the Catholic Church that the dead saved in invincible ignorance are visible to us on earth for them to be exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Syllabus of Errors ( on other religions and Christian communities and churches) and Ad Gentes 7 (all need faith and baptism) ?
6) So the Sisters can attend the Novus Ordo or Tridentine Rite Mass affirm extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Syllabus of Errors and Vatican Council II ? Ecclesiology has not been changed?
a) Since there are no explicit, visible,defacto, objective, known  exceptions in 2014 to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, there is no basis for 'a theology of religions', 'new ecclesiology', 'ecumenism of non return' and 'development of doctrine' on salvation?
7) Cardinal Braz de Aviz and  Fr.Fidenzio Volpi do not know the name of anyone saved outside the Catholic Church in 2013-2014?

8) When the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1257) says God is not limited to the Sacraments , it is referring to cases known only to God and which are invisible, hypothetical, accepted in theory, accepted in principle (de jure) and not explicit and known in personal cases.
a) So these cases are not exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus for Cardinal Braz de Aviz and Fr.Fidenzio Volpi?.

9) When the Catechism of the Catholic Church 846 indicates that all who are saved in other religions are saved through Jesus and the Church, these cases are not explicit for Cardinal Braz de Aviz and Fr.Fidenzio Volpi ?
a) So they are not exceptions to extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Syllabus of Errors and the traditional teaching on other religions and Christians communities and churches ?

10) Those who know that the Catholic Church was founded by God through Jesus Christ and yet do not enter and are damned (LG 14) and those in invincible ignorance of the Gospel through no fault of their own and who are saved (LG 16) are hypothetical cases, which are not exceptions to Tradition?

11) Do Cardinal Braz de Aviz and Fr.Fidenzio Volpi affirm Vatican Council II in accord with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the Nicene Creed?

The above questions must be asked of the Apostolic Signatura ,Vatican.
