LOL. Of course not. It's straight out of Catholic Tradition and the current Catechism. Invincible Ignorance.

No other. The point is that because of historical or other circumstances beyond an individual's culpability, an individual may be "saved" and live a life completely in the Spirit of God without the intellectual knowledge of the name "Jesus."
