if I understand the Catholic position correctly, as long as one is baptized into the Catholic Church and never have been excommunicated, they are saved

What? Not at all. You are saved if you are free from unconfessed mortal sin at death. Otherwise, with Hymenaus, you have made a shipwreck of your faith and not saved. I am really surprised you know so little about Catholicism after spending all your time on Catholic threads.

you've backtracked from the early comment that the "seed of faith" comes from God.

I did not backtrack form anything. The seed does come from God. It is up to the faithful to grow it or to wreck it.
