[Romulus]

Ever heard of baptism by blood?

From all available evidence, you haven't

But I'm relieved to see you admit the possibility of salvation for those not formally incorporated in the visible Church. This is progress.

Martyrdom for Christ ensures salvation. The early Christians assumed from this that any being martyred before they had received water baptism would still be saved. There were an estimated eleven million Catholic martyrs in the first three centuries.
