I completely agree that the historical teachings of the Catholic Church held the interpretation of EENS that you hold. Yet, JPII and B16 have a completely different interpretation. I’ll restate my question then: Are JPII and B16 heretics? And, another one for you: Are you a sedevacantist?
It's hard to know what JPII and B16 believe, as they never come out and say it clearly.
Look, IF "nobody can be saved, no matter how much he has given away in alms and even if he has shed blood in the name of Christ", does not mean what it says (and all the DOGMATIC definitions say the same thing), then, NOTHING is what it says. AND, our whole religion is built on sand. If that clear definition does not mean what it says, then how can we judge what JPII & B16 have unclearly said or not said? Who knows what they believe? I don't bother with analyzing them, we had the truth handed to us long ago.
