Among the extreme traditionalists there exists a limited, and limiting, understanding of Extra Ecclesia Nulla Salus (along the lines of Feenyism)which makes their own position vis a vis the Church so dangerous yet they never seem to dwell on that, or even notice it.

Bingo. I know good trads who you can't even talk to on this issue. You bring up St. Emerentiana, the holy Martyr catechumen who was never baptized--"Oh, but she *must have been baptized* before death!! Someone must have done it before she died!"

*Sigh*. Very sad.

Jan 23rd. I know the date off the top of my head because I have so freq. referenced her Feast in trying to dissuade trads from their Feenyism.
