All this holds true not only for Christians, but for all men of good will in whose hearts grace works in an unseen way.(31) For, since Christ died for all men,(32) and since the ultimate vocation of man is in fact one, and divine, we ought to believe that the Holy Spirit in a manner known only to God offers to every man the possibility of being associated with this paschal mystery.-Gaudium et Specs 22.

Cushing-Jesuit Factual Error
All this holds true not only for Christians, but for all men of good will in whose hearts grace works in an unseen way.
It is possible that a person with good will, will be saved in an unseen way.This would be known only to God.This case would be invisible for us.
This case is not visible for us. So it would not be an exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
So when it assumed on the Catholic Answer Magazine above quoted that this is an exception to the traditional teaching which says all non Catholics are going to Hell unless they convert into the Catholic Church it means the invisible is being considered to be visible. This is the Cushing- Jesuit Factual Error.
It is a fact that we do not know any such case who is an exception. Neither does the passage above claim that it is a known exception. Yet dissenters will imply that this refers to an explicit case.
we ought to believe that the Holy Spirit in a manner known only to God offers to every man the possibility of being associated with this paschal mystery.-Gaudium et Specs 22.
Yes as a possibility but no as a defacto, reality.
Yes hypothetically but not in fact, not in reality, not personally known.
The Cushing-Jesuit Factual Error confuses the distinction between a possibility with being known in reality.
When this distinction is not made Vatican Council comes across as 'ambiguous'.
