They don't read the catechism, they have been poorly catechised

Agreed, but would they listen even if the catechesis were available?

they won't go to hell because of invincible ignorance.

Invincible ignorance is a thin thread on which to hang one's eternal destiny. But if they are really *invincibly* ignorant, catechesis wouldn't help (almost by definition).

Probably not, but some would want to and couldn't.

You have a point there. If they weren't so powerless in other ways, maybe the temptation to turn to it would be lessened. How would you deal with it if you were their shepherd?
