What you don't (won't ?) understand is that BOB or BOD without BOW is not an exception to EENS
Lionel:
We have discussed this extensively on Twitter.Finally you could not say that you know someone in the present times, who is in Heaven without faith and the baptism of water.
You cannot name any one.
So still you cannot name an exception, someone whom you can physically see on earth who is in Heaven without the baptism of water.I repeat I refer to a literal case, something physical and not some theology or theory.
So I agree that there are no exceptions in the present times, none whom we can see or meet. This is also the position, I assume of Bishop Donald Sanborn and Fr.Anthony Cekada.

Lionel:
I have to keep reminding many people that the baptism of desire(BOD) and Baptism of blood(BOD)cases, would be in Heaven. So they would not be seen on earth. So they could not be exceptions to EENS.They are zero cases on earth. They are invisible for us humans.
Since you criticise Fr. Leonard Feeney and support Cardinal Marchetti I have to remind you that BOD and BOB cases cannot be seen in the flesh to be relevant to the dogma.When you criticise Fr.Feeney you infer that the dead-saved are visible and meaningful for you, with respect to the dogma.

Yes she is a saint and she is in Heaven. But who decided that she is in Heaven without the baptism of water?Did this unknown person have the gift to see and meet her in Heaven and confirm that she was an exception to the dogmatic teaching?

Lionel:
Feeneyism has been the offical teaching of the Catholic Church for centuries.
BOD and BOB allegedly without BOW, originated in the 1940's.
In the past, for centuries BOB and BOD were accepted but were separated from the dogma. They were not considered explicit exceptions in the present times to EENS.
