We are talking only about your estimate of what my estimate may be of how many people are saved through baptism of desire. And I never hinted at what my estimate may be—for the simple reason that I have no clue.

Then you had no business saying this:

I am sure that there are many great, holy mystics among Protestants, Jews, Muslims, and even pagans, and that many in those religions have experienced baptism of desire, and thus have the theological virtues and sanctifying grace, and will enter into the Beatific Vision when they die.

It was irresponsible at best.

I never used any word but “many.” I never said “most,” or “a large part,” or any equivalent.

In view of the fact that BILLIONS of people have been unbaptized, I am quite sure that there are MANY unbaptized people in heaven.
