Gaudium et Specs 22 does not contradict the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus : English bishop tells a lie

Gaudium et Specs 22 is referred to as an exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus by Archbishop Kevin McDonald in the video below(3:43).
Here is  the text .

 All this holds true not only for Christians, but for all men of good will in whose hearts grace works in an unseen way. For, since Christ died for all men, and since the ultimate vocation of man is in fact one, and divine, we ought to believe that the Holy Spirit in a manner known only to God offers to every man the possibility of being associated with this paschal mystery.-Gaudium et Specs 22

Since the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 to the Archbishop of Boston relative to Fr. Leonard Feeney assumes hypothetical cases are concrete and known and they exclude the baptism of water in the Catholic Church this error has been repeated in many passages in Vatican Council II.It is an error-theme.
 So when Archbishop McDonald refers in the video to ' all men of good will in whose hearts grace works in an unseen way' it really is a reference to an invisible person-but not for him!. For us human beings Gaudium et Specs 22 cannot refer to an exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.(EENS). It is not relevant to EENS since it is a reference to an invisible person, an unknown person.
The Archbishop has mixed up what is invisible as being visible.He then uses this error to infer there is an exception to EENS.So there is salvation outside the Church.There is the Anonymous Catholic saved without being a member of the Church and for him, as the video shows, even without faith in Christ!!
This is his new theology based upon invisible cases being visible and unknown people being saved without the baptism of water in the Catholic Church who are physically visible on earth to be exceptions to the dogma EENS.

In the past he cited Ad Gentes 11, 'seeds of the Word' as a known exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.However 'seeds of the Word' is a general statement.It cannot refer to someone saved as such, outside the Church.
In the video he wrongly says that Gaudium et Specs says that people outside the Church ' can engage with the mystery of salvation' and that 'the Holy Spirit works in their life'. In other words these are not hypothetical cases. They are known people for him.So they become examples of salvation outside the Church for him and they are exceptions to the dogma EENS.
He says that 'the Holy Spirit can be operative in the lives of people who haven't come to faith in Christ'.Once again he is implying that these are known cases.They are not hypothetical or theoretical cases.So for him there are known exceptions outside the Church. In other words there is salvation outside the Church for him.
He refers to Redemptoris Missio(4:25). Yes even for Cardinal Ratzinger there was salvation outside the Church since invisible cases were visible.Rahner's Anonymous Christian theology is based upon the same error.
(4:40) 'If people live in goodness and truth and integrity in their own lives then the Holy Spirit is operative in that perosn'.Fine- but why mention this with reference to extra ecclesiam nulla salus.Is it being implied that this is an exception to the dogma EENS and an example of salvation outside the Church? Yes. This is the staple theology of the liberals. 
He call this 'a statement of theological principle'. In principle, in his theology, he mixes up what is invisible as being visible.So now there are two theologies within the Catholic Church, Cushingism ( known exceptions to EENS and Feeneyism( no known exceptions to EENS) and their conclusion is different.
So Vatican Council II can be interpreted with Feeneyism or Cushingism and the conclusion is different.
Similarly EENS is interpreted with Feeneyism or Cushingism and the conclusion is different.
With the Feeneyite-Cushingite model Vatican Council II has a continuity or rupture with Tradition.For the English bishops Vatican Council II has a rupture with Tradition.
With the Cushingite model we have, what the bishop calls ' a developing model of Church'(5:09).
He says 'we must preach Jesus Christ'(5:56) and he means without the necessity of non Catholics entering the Church as members. This is no more an obligation since there is known salvation outside the Church for him.
